Comment on this resource
The Voyage of the Odyssey is a five-year program designed to gather the first ever baseline data on levels of synthetic contaminants throughout the oceans of the world. It uses whales, albatrosses and pelagic fish as indicator species for measuring the health of the seas. There is a map to locate the current position of the Odyssey and ship logs, video, and audio reports to learn about the experiences of the crew.
