- [H1] Sail & explore association
- [H1] 09.08.2025 We’re excited to announce the launch of a new research initiative at Jungfraujoch (3,463m), one of the highest-altitude research stations in Europe and a unique site for atmospheric science. For the first time ever, we are sampling for airborne microplastics at this elevation in the Swiss Alps, aiming to better understand how plastic particles are transported through the atmosphere - even to some of the most remote and seemingly pristine locations on Earth.
- [H1] 20.02.2025 In collaboration with Kino Riffraff, we present X Trillion – a powerful film following the renowned all-women “eXXpedition North Pacific” on their mission to uncover the unseen reality of plastic pollution in our oceans. April 14, 2025 | 18:30 | Kino Riffraff, Zurich, get your ticket here Followed by an exclusive Q&A session with Dr. Roman Lehner, Dr. Sylvia Frey, and Dr. Emily Duncan
- [H1] 12.07.2024 We are very happy to announce that researchers from the group of Dr. Francesco Pomati from the Swiss aquatic research institute Eawag will join us for the 2nd leg of our Azores expedition. We will determine in real-time the composition and relative abundances of different Plankton species in the Atlantic using the Aquascope.
- [H1] 2.11.2023 In the field of nanoplastic research, well-defined reference materials or mimics are needed to conduct the first studies on the uptake, distribution, detection, identification, and quantification of nanoplastics in the environment and their possible impact on animal and human health. We hereby present a simple approach to synthesize different nanoplastics at sizes below < 100 nm in diameter!
- [H1] 21.08.2023 We are very happy to announce our new partnership with NOAA. Sail & Explore will help to improve and expand their global microplastics database with data provided by our globally conducted expeditions. The data will help other scientists and environmental managers better understand and manage the rapidly growing marine microplastics problem.
- [H1] 08.06.2023 We got broadcast on the Swiss science TV show Einstein: "Far more plastic ends up in the environment than previously thought, confirms research by the Sail & Explore Association. It is estimated that as much as 20 tons of microplastics float from rivers into the oceans every year."
- [H1] 09.12.2022 Swiss Ambassador Bichet-Anthamatten visited a scientific expedition led by the Sail & Explore Association in the Whitsunday Islands. The Swiss association combines sailing, science and education to take action against global plastic pollution of the oceans.

- [H1] Every year approximately 400 million tons of plastic waste are being produced which can then end up in the environment, where they become brittle and break down into micro- and nanoplastic particles. By 2040, the amount of plastic waste entering aquatic ecosystems could nearly triple from 9-14 million tons per year in 2016 to an estimated 23-37 million tons per year. The 2017 United Nations Clean Seas Campaign estimated that there are 51 trillion microplastic particles floating in our oceans. But exact numbers on the prevalance of smaller-sized microplastics (below 0.3 mm) and their potential impact on the environment are missing.
- [H1] Together with our global scientific collaboration partners, we are focusing on aquatic fieldwork studies from the oceans to mountain lakes, studying the possible impact of micro- and nanoplastic particles on human health. To achieve these goals, we are synthesizing the world's first nanoplastic particles made from materials used in the packaging industry which are marked with molecules for their detection in complex environments and tissues.
- [H1] workshops
- [H1] Our workshops provide a unique opportunity for interested participants to meet up with international scientists working on marine environmental topics, join scientific lectures and follow the scientists into the field, learn and assist with scientific solution-oriented projects, and to support and interact with policymakers and stakeholders
- [H1] The workshops involve several phases to investigate and understand plastic waste streams and leakage on islands and to identify and initiate projects that could be long-term solutions to the plastic waste problem.
- [H1] Take action and be part of one of our scientific expeditions, explore new areas, test new technical developments and methods for plastic sampling, and actively participate in the data collection on smaller-sized microplastics (< 0.3 mm). Meet and get educated by local researchers on the boat, get daily lectures, and learn how to sail or improve your existing sailing skills.
- [H1] The data gathered during each expedition is published in peer-reviewed scientific journals to make new knowledge visible, educate people, raise awareness, and support policymakers.
