Hello!
Last day of trawling today, and now we point straight for the Azores! 33 successful trawls under our belt. Attached is a photo from yesterday showing quite the accumulation of plastic in net 1 (air/sea interface). Julia even commented that this was the most plastic she had ever seen before in the multi-level trawl. Science is done and now we focus on sailing and we keep fingers crossed for a steady breeze to port!
Cheers,
