Swoop is proud to be a supporter of the Polar Citizen Science Collective, which helps make sure that every activity on participating ships runs to the highest standards. We know this from direct experience, as all our team members take part in citizen science projects whenever they’re in Antarctica.

From HappyWhale and Secchi disks to phytoplankton and seabird surveys – this guide will take you through each of the citizen science projects we've participated in over the last year, so you can uncover the project you'd most like to participate in.
