We're back! The sailing expedition has been fantastic and eye-opening for the whole team. But we're not done yet: onto the analysis and outreach here in Svalbard and back home in the UK. Stay tuned! #sailagainstplastic2018 #amessagefromthearctic

Merry Christmas from The Antarctic Report! when Jesus was born, the average concentration of CO2 in the air was approx 280ppm. Today it’s 408ppm. At current rates, CO2 levels will hit 500ppm within 50 years, on track to reach temperature boosts of +3°C https://t.co/uj63a5X7qw

Entanglement at the microscopic level...@PlanktonPundit continues to reveal the hidden impacts these insidious pieces have even at the base of the food chain. Tragic. Please share & RT

[Dr Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

A tragedy unfolds as a microfibre ball becomes a deadly fishing net. Just 0.5mm in diameter, it traps a planktonic copepod making it more likely to be eaten by another animal and pass up the food chain. @zeiss_micro

What an inspiring achievement - congratulations to @LewisPugh for completing #TheLongSwim for #plasticpollution!

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

CONGRATULATIONS to @LewisPugh for his heroic achievement completing #TheLongSwim today, swimming from Land's End to Dover to raise awareness of #plasticpollution and the need for greater protection for our oceans @SpeedoUK @LewisPughFDN #WaterBabyForever #s9eed0 @SkyOceanRescue

@IMOHQ @HFOFreeArctic Thank you @IMOHQ. That’s good to hear :)

[Sail Against Plastic @Sail4Seas]

Why not indeed @IMOHQ? Most will be using Heavy Fuel Oils that produce higher levels of air & climate pollutants than any other marine fuels. Support @HFOFreeArctic to stop it's use there at least...https://t.co/T7P7Ma2D7Z
