On Thursday, 17 September, the UiB Plastic Network and partners are organising a coastal cleanup effort outside Rosendal in Hardanger. We will travel aboard the fast ferry Rødne Fjord Cruise, departing from Strandkaiterminalen in Bergen at 08:50 and returning to the same location at 16:20.
When we arrive in Rosendal, another boat will take us a short boat trip to one of the small islands outside of Rosendal, where the plastic cleanup will take place.
Please note: Places on the boat are limited, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your spot.
All participants will receive a free lunch during the trip.
In addition to making a meaningful contribution to protecting nature and wildlife, UiB’s cleanup event offer a great opportunity to get to know fellow students, colleagues, and organisations working to address environmental and climate challenges.
This year, you will also have the chance to enjoy a free day trip by boat through scenic coastal and fjord scenery to Rosendal where we will experience the breathtaking Hardangerfjord at close range.
