Welcome
Welcome to Sailing Over Changing Seas, bringing you the fascinating science along the route of the 2008 Tall Ships race, which starts from Liverpool in July.
The UK’s leading research organisations in ocean and earth sciences will be helping thousands of visitors learn more about the seas beneath the hulls of the 70 magnificent vessels as they make their way from the Mersey to Bergen in Norway. The Sailing Over Changing Seas exhibition covers topics including the ocean’s role in climate change, alien species that invade our waters, ways of getting energy from the sea, the measurement of sea level change - and some amazing film of creatures in the deep oceans.
The exhibition will be appearing at venues around the country over the next year. Bookmark this site for updates.

Oceans 2025
Oceans 2025 is a strategic marine science programme supported by the UK Natural Environment Research Council, to increase knowledge of the marine environment so that we are better able to protect it for future generations.
Oceans 2025 researchers and science partners have produced the "Sailing over changing seas" exhibition to present their latest findings and activities. Teams from the Marine Biological Association (MBA), the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS), the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL), the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) and the British Geological Survey (BGS), will be on the stand to answer your questions and explain more about the science.
