Expedition success! In late 2022, following COVID-19 related delays, we undertook our first field visit to Federated States of Micronesia as part of the @dfat -funded WWII Shipwreck Pollution Mitigation Project. We look forward to continuing this work with our partners in 2023!

We're finally going back to Chuuk this month!!! Decaying World War II wrecks in Truk Lagoon contain oil that poses an imminent threat to the local environment and people. Thanks to AusGov DFAT and SPREP, we will help FSM manage this risk. youtube.com/watch?v=jtqnli…
