Research Fund 21/04 :: Mariana Veloso

Congratulations Mariana Veloso, a Master’s student at ISPA, who last year requested some funding so she could join an Ocean Missions expedition to Iceland for her final thesis! These kind folks monitor cetacean and seabird populations, while measuring the abundance of micro-plastics in the area as well. For one week Mariana sailed from Húsavík to Reykjavík, while conducting her studies, and we simply couldn’t say no to something this cool, so we wired her 500 euros.

Check out this awesome video of Mariana’s trip.

As usual we also made a donation to Loving the Planet, Faidout, and APECE.
