Developing each spring off the coast of Brittany, the bloom has a notable impact on the ocean’s biochemical cycles and global climate regulation. This phenomenon is of significant interest to scientists. The team is currently working to improve its methodology in order to continue its expeditions next autumn. These expeditions will take place, once again, aboard ocean racing yachts—the backbone of the project.
The speeds attained by these vessels are an asset in reaching targeted biological areas, escaping inclement weather conditions, and retrieving viable samples expeditiously.
