Tomorrow, the French NGO – School Ship, ‘Kraken’ which has 30 volunteers onboard, leaves Madeira and sets sail for Porto Santo where its crew will carry out various environmental awareness activities, such as, marine litter collection with other environmental groups and local schools as part of a Regional Youth Directorate initiative until the 22nd of April.
The Kraken docked in Funchal harbour on the 21st of March, and once the ship returns from Porto Santo it is expected to remain in the region for another two weeks before sailing to the Canaries, via the Selvagens Islands Nature Reserve.
