Team Malizia Sets Sail On A New Mission With Malizia Explorer Research Vessel
Our Team Malizia is upscaling its climate research efforts with a new sailboat, Malizia Explorer, dedicated to science, communication and outreach. This new project builds on the team’s core mission: while continuing to race and collect scientific data with Malizia - Seaexplorer, we will expand our efforts with Malizia Explorer to carry out dedicated research expeditions. Building on the success of our A Race We Must Win – Climate Action Now! mission, we are calling for collaborators, scientific projects, and partners to support this bold initiative. Already on board as a key partner is Reederei F. Laeisz, along with renowned scientific institutions AWI, GEOMAR, Hereon, and UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission.
