ISSEO is a project led by students at Laval University (Quebec) to demonstrate that it is possible to conduct oceanographic research with a low carbon footprint.

They have planned an oceanographic mission with a research question, a sampling plan, and protocols—all adapted for a 13-meter-long recreational sailboat. The estimated time departure is by the end of May or June. You can learn more about the crew, the science on board, and the organization by following the adventure on social media:
