Scientific programs
Ocean science for marine conservation

«Data on the Arctic is dramatically lacking, so anything we collect there will be of vital value to feed the global databases. We will thus transpose to this region the pilot program we conducted around half the globe during the previous expedition.»
Prof. Daniel McGinnis,
Head of the Aquatic Physics Group, Faculty of Sciences, University of Geneva

« Our partnership with the Arctic Expedition will provide new data to help us understand the distribution and transport mechanisms of plastic waste in this region. »

EAR TO THE WILD
Ocean noise pollution
The Ear to The Wild pilot program, carried out in partnership with the Bioacoustics Application Laboratory of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, consists of mapping the ocean soundscape for the preservation of marine fauna in a context of increased noise pollution.


« The industrial exploitation of the ocean has been accompanied by the uncontrolled introduction of noise pollution which has invaded its entire living space and added an invisible devastating threat to other already known impacts of our activities on the ocean. »
Prof. Michel André,
director of the Laboratory of Applied Bio-Acoustics (LAB) ; Polytechnic University of Catalonia
