2027 Return to the Gulf of California

March to May, 2027

In 2027, the Western Flyer will return to the Gulf of California for an expedition focused on long-term collaboration, shared inquiry, and place-based learning across borders.

This return voyage reflects a deepening commitment to the region—not as a one-time expedition, but as an ongoing partnership with scientists, educators, artists, and communities in Mexico and the United States. Over three months at sea and in port, the Western Flyer will serve as a platform for marine research, student learning, and community engagement rooted in local knowledge and lived experience.

More details about participating partners, research focus areas, and education programs will be shared as planning continues.
