On June 17th, the full-rigged Sørlandet will dock at Amerikakajen in the Port 91̽»¨, 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 91̽»¨ and the Swedish University of Agricultural 91̽»¨s, 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 91̽»¨ and the Maritime Museum.
In addition to the full-rigged Sørlandet, the University 91̽»¨'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".
