163 Crew Members. 38 Nationalities. 57 partners. 16 Voyages. 1 mission.

3 years ago this week, we set sail from Plymouth on our epic Round The World mission.

Since completing their voyages our amazing Ambassadors continue to impress us everyday with their creative approaches to tackling ocean plastic pollution! You can check out some of their change-making highlights through the Superpower Stories on our website.

We would like to mark this milestone by saying a huge thank everyone who has realised this adventure so far - our team, our partners, and of course, all our crew.

So, with that, sit back, grab a cuppa, and follow the #linkibio to get stuck into the RTW Impact Report for a throwback to all the waves of impact we achieved together!

Keep up the hard work everyone!

88% of UK citizens regularly recycle with over half of us recycling more in the past year than before. ⁠
⁠
Whilst you may have a recycling routine that works for you, there are some common items that are not being recycled when they could be.⁠
⁠
Using the SHiFT.How platform, we have created a "Surprising Recycling Guide", to help you understand how to recycle items you may not have previously considered. ⁠

We are so excited to announce that our Caribbean R

We are so excited to announce that our Caribbean Research Paper is being presented this week at the 7th International Marine Debris Conference in Busan, by our very own eXXpedition Ambassador, Taylor Maddalene.

Taylor, PhD Student in Environmental Engineering and Director of the Circularity Assessment Protocol with the Jambeck Research Group at the University of Georgia, joined us for our Virtual Voyage to Fiji.

From the 19th-23rd September, Taylor will be presenting the findings from our Caribbean Research Paper to the 7th IMDC.

Hosted every 4 years, the IMDC brings together a diverse range of ocean advocates. From academics to government and industry officials, the conference aims to bring stakeholders together and build solutions to marine plastic pollution.

It's great to see our Ambassadors continuing to make an impact back on land, post voyage. We can't wait to see what Taylor gets up to this week.

Shout out to @jennajambeck who is also attending the conference.

Be sure to follow @supfreescientist, @universityofga and @jennajambeck for live updates from the event.
