Committed and Determined
Ocean Union is a transatlantic project that connects science, education, and environmental action. Led by a coalition of universities and cultural institutions, it works to clean the ocean, raise awareness about microplastic pollution, and inspire change. What makes it unique is its three-year sailing mission linking Europe and the Caribbean. This site shares the project’s purpose, values, updates from the sea, and ways to get involved.
