One Ocean Week and Expedition

NANOOS was honored to participate in Maritime Blue’s One Ocean Week welcoming the historic tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl to Seattle on its One Ocean Expedition, a UN Decade effort to raise global awareness for our ocean. We worked with partners and students to showcase research, technology, and data products at the Vast and Deep Ocean event aboard the ship on 24 October. Then a team from NANOOS and UW, including 11 students, joined the crew and sailed 915 miles to San Francisco. Everyone worked together steering the ship, hoisting sails, scrubbing decks, as well as collecting water samples, net tows, and CTD casts along the way. It was truly an experience of a lifetime that we will never forget.
