Shailene Woodley on MY Esperanza in the Sargasso Sea

Emmy-award nominee and environmental advocate Shailene Woodley and Greenpeace Action Campaigner Lisa Ramsden raise the flag for the Sargasso Sea leg. The Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza is on an expedition in the Sargasso Sea, a unique region in the North Atlantic Ocean that is home to a diverse array of marine life, including loggerhead and green sea turtles.
The journey, part of the "Protect the Oceans" year long tour, will see Greenpeace and University of Florida researchers team up to study the impact of plastics and microplastics on marine life and the importance that the Sargasso's drifting Sargassum seaweed habitat has for the development of juvenile sea turtles.
