The Ocean Race will again serve as an official partner for the Yacht Racing Forum 2026, continuing a relationship that dates back to the forum's inaugural edition in 2008. On June 16, 2026, Spain recognized The Ocean Race 2027 as an Event of Exceptional Public Interest, a designation that provides a favorable tax framework to attract investment for the race's start from Alicante. Previously, on June 10, 2026, research released for World Ocean Day revealed that environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring from seawater samples collected during The Ocean Race Europe 2025 provided new insights into ocean biodiversity, invasive species, and climate change pressures. This followed earlier reports on June 8, 2026, which indicated that seawater samples collected by sailors during The Ocean Race Europe 2025 could also offer new understanding of ocean hazards like algal blooms and jellyfish swarms.
