It’s been a crazy year for us, lot’s of press, lots of great partnerships forming.  As many of you know by now, Pangaea is partnered with 5 Gyres on a whole host of expeditions.  At the end of August, Sea Dragon’s schedule gets frantic.  We’ll have press events in Rio with our partners at the United Nations.  We’ll be heading out to the border of the southern plastic garbage patch with our first mission to Ascension Island to observe, and then we’re heading across to Capetown, South Africa later this fall for the first ever transect of the South Ocean Gyre, looking for plastic pollution.
