Mission: Invasive species - Southern England

Video: A rather unknown aspect of human impact on oceans: invasive species. Along the European coasts as elsewhere, aquaculture, transportation and aquaria have increased the exchange of exotic species. Scientists from the University of Bangor will join the expedition to study the spreading of the American slipper limpet, a small mollusc from North America. This study will allow to observe its effects on local ecosystems and on biodiversity. An underwater camera mounted on a sledge towed by the boat will film the ocean bottom. With those images the scientists can compare the biodiversity of areas with and without slipper limpets and can assess the evolution in this region since 1958.

Mission: Waddensea - UNESCO World Heritage Site

Video: Fleur de Passion is navigating in the Wadden Sea. The goal of the expedition is to gather information on best practices of these marine protected areas, which have been classified world heritage by the UNESCO in June 2009. This will complete the information gathered earlier in the expedition and will help us to develop a global strategy for decreasing the impact of human activities on the oceans.
