Race Against Microplastics Tide [environment - GB row challenge]

Engineering & Technology 2022
N. Smith

Summary

This brief article covers a rowing challenge focused on raising awareness about microplastic pollution in the ocean. It is a short news or feature piece rather than a scientific research paper.

Study Type Environmental

In June 2022, three teams of elite athletes will compete in a 3,500km, month-long rowing race around Britain, the GB Row Challenge. The founders wanted to provide "a powerful sustainable purpose to the event, to leave a legacy in the sport of ocean rowing for our environment and the next generation". When the three GB Row crews battle their way unsupported around the course, they will undertake the largest-ever collection of marine biology data of its kind in the UK and this will include new data on microplastic pollution.
