About

A sailing expedition circumnavigating 27,000 miles around North and South America with a mission to connect communities, collect ocean research, and share the information through a free education online platform to inspire students to become future ocean stewards.

The mission focuses on scientific research, education, and community outreach to raise awareness about ocean health. Building on Captain Mark Schrader’s original 2009–2010 journey, the expedition will compare oceanic changes over the past 15 years. Read More.
