On June 17th, the full-rigged Sørlandet will dock at Amerikakajen in the Port of Gothenburg, fully loaded with marine scientists! The sailing, which goes from Kristiansand to Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Oslo, is an initiative to focus on the marine environment in the Western Sea. In the port, the sailing participants, together with researchers from the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, will organize an exhibition about the problems and solutions for the marine environment, with fun activities for both adults and children! The event is also co-organized with the Port of Gothenburg and the Maritime Museum.
In addition to the full-rigged Sørlandet, the University of Gothenburg's research vessel R/V Skagerak will also be at the quay, with the opportunity to go aboard and learn more about how scientists study the ocean.
Sørlandet arrives at 11:00 and departs at 20:00, and the exhibition will be open between 15:00-18:00. At 15:00, opening speeches will also be given by, among others, Martin Falklind, known from the TV series "Fiskarnas Rike".
The exhibition is easy to find from the Maritime Museum's main entrance at Stigbergstorget, where there will be signs and a points walk!
The full program will be presented shortly.
