The crew and guests on-board the 72ft Sea Dragon expedition ship have sent these photographs via satellite, showing the start of the first of two expeditions from the Island to find out more about the Sargasso Sea.The Sea Dragon is operated by Pangaea Explorations, and has sailed around 50,000 miles over the last two years as part of a series of research expeditions in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.A spokeswoman for the Bermuda Alliance for the Sargasso Sea (BASS) said: “The boat provides a superb platform of rugged capability, capacity and efficiency with a naturally low environmental footprint — perfect for the type of remote sailing expeditions she undertakes.“The Sea Dragon sails all over the world’s oceans, from the Sargasso Sea expedition to look for marine plastics to a transit of the Southern Ocean.”The crew of the boat have been joined on the expedition by local and visiting scientists, interns, teachers, advocacy groups and filmmakers to record, collect, photograph and preserve some of the most iconic life in the Sargasso Sea.
