The Race for Water Ambassador Vessel has arrived in Guadeloupe! After setting sail from Lorient on 10 April 2017 for a 5-year round the world voyage to raise awareness about plastic pollution of the oceans, the Race For Water, a fully autonomous solar-hydrogen-powered vessel, is arriving in Guadeloupe on Thursday 21 September. With the support of La Région Guadeloupe, this 4-month stopover is the longest period of landfall for the Race For Water Foundation’s Ambassador catamaran. Their arrival is slightly later than first planned after they had to modify the ship’s course due to the passage of hurricane Maria. During this stopover in Guadeloupe, a number of special events will take place regarding the problem of plastic waste: conferences, workshops, meetings, school visits and a science mission in the waters of the archipelago. We get the low-down on what promises to be a busy programme. The Race for Water Vessel dock next to the Memorial Act in Guadeloupe.For more information on this program, have a look to our last press release in attachment. Kind regards from all the R4W team!
