AQUATHON
During the Aquathon project, which lasted 2 weeks, we tested the seawater quality in Brest to determine the well being of Brest’s ecosystems.We planned to compare the water quality from multiple locations in Brest and set them against global ocean data.We wanted to test the accuracy of accessible water test kits on seawater.We also aspire to participate in the development of citizen science projects around water testing.
