<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div>my name is Kateryna and I am increadibly grateful and excited to be part of this research expedition to a remote area of Western Greenland! I am a scientist, sailor, mother of two wonderful children, and someone who has spend my life exploring how to create a cleaner and more sustainable future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This July, I have a great honor to be part of a sailing research #<strong>eXXpedition Arctic</strong>- an all-women sailing expedition bringing together passionate women from around the world to investigate ocean plastic pollution and inspire solutions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This oppotunity means so much to me because it brings together two important parts of my life: <strong>science and the ocean</strong>!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I studied materials engineering. Later I continued my education in Canada, studying environmental chemistry. For the past 15 years, I have been working as a scientist at the Max-Planck Institute für Kohlenforschung in Germany, focusing on sustainable energy research , including storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Outside the laboratory, I have always felt strong connection to the sea.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a sailor, I have explored the Mediterranean, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. These journeys have given me unforgettable moments surrounded by beauty of nature-but they also shown me increasing pressure our oceans face from human activity, especially plastic pollution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Several years ago, while travelling in Thailand with my daughter, we visited a remote beach near the Malacca Strait. Far away from tourist areas, we expected untouched nature-but instead we found a coastline covered with all sorts of plastic waste: bottles, straws, packaging, rest of fishing equipment. We decided we could not simply walk away. Together, we cleaned around 500 m of beach and collected a shocking amount of plastic waste. Seeing pollution on that scale , in such a beautiful and remote place, made me realise how fragile our environment is and how urgently we need solutions to tackle this problem.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What is eXXpedition and their mission?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Exxpedition is a leading ocean research organisation that helps people truly connect with plastic crisis and discover their unique role to start solving this problem.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Plastic pollution is everywhere and we all want to act.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Exxpedition take teams of women to sea to witness the plastic problem first-hand, contribute to groundbreaking scientific research and bring back stories that inspire change:
</div>
<ul>
<li>we will collect world-class data from the planet’s most remote waters in Greenland,
</li>
<li>mapping the sources and scale of plastic pollution and
</li>
<li>putting it in the hands who can use it and inspire action on the right solution.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Althought I have already been selected for this incredible journey, participation requires a significant personal contribution, including expedition costs, travel, winter sailing water resistant gear and preparation.
</div>
<div>I am therefore asking for your support to help make this mission possible.
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the amount, helps me take part in this mission and bring back knowledge, experieces , and stories that can inspire others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting me, this mission, and the belief that protecting our oceans is a responsibility we all share.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kateryna
</div>
