Oslo,  17 January 2020 – REV Ocean signs new partnership agreement with the Norwegian environmental youth agents, Miljøagentene. The agreement will link young ocean enthusiasts with REV Ocean’s science and communication priorities and will focus on the following core areas:

• Including an Eco-Agent from Miljøagentene in REV Ocean’s International Advisory Board for the purpose of considering the perspective of children and constantly reminding REV Ocean of our accountability to future generations.    

• Visits on-board the vessel, principally during the vessel’s maiden voyage along the Norwegian coast, tentatively summer 2021.  

• Developing ocean-related educational resources and or activities for children.
