RACE WITH PURPOSE

Partnered with the University of Portsmouth, our races will undertake a detailed survey of pollution around Great Britain's waters.

The Row Around Great Britain race will undertake a detailed survey of pollution around Great Britain’s waters measuring:

  • Micro plastics
  • Acidity levels
  • Temperature Levels
  • Acoustic noise pollution levels

Helping to support Marine Biological Scientists from the U.K.’s leading Universities to assess the environmental damage and long term impact being done to our seas and Oceans.

GB Row Director Jim Bastin meets with Professors Steve Fletcher and Alex Ford of the University of Portsmouth

"We are extremely excited about the GB Row Race With Purpose scheme. Nothing like this has ever been done before and the data will be key for us as the leading Marine Biology Department in the UK".
