Fighting Ocean Pollution, One Research Kit at a Time
A new collaboration brings low-cost pollution monitoring to coastlines around the world.
A two-year pilot project called GEM-in-a-Box aims to fill in the gaps through low-cost nutrient monitoring around the world, from Kenya to Malaysia to the Bahamas. GEM stands for Global Eutrophication Monitoring, and the initiative is led by the Commonwealth Blue Charter Action Group on Ocean Observation, in partnership with the Tula Foundation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), and The Ocean Foundation.

We acknowledge and respect all the Indigenous peoples of the Northeast Pacific Region’s land and sea, on and in whose traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories we live, work, and play. This Region has been their home since time immemorial, and their relationships and connection with this land and sea continue to this day; acknowledging this in our current historical moment is crucial to advancing our shared future.
