In 2018, we sailed the Amelie Rose with a volunteer crew around the English Channel, stopping at harbours along the way.

Each time we dropped the anchor the crew took part in beach cleans, talked to activists, scientists and researchers from the area, and also found out what local businesses were doing about the sea-plastics crisis. We shared what they learned via our social media feeds and even had a poet sharing crowd-sourced haiku each day!

​

Our interactive map below shows the places we visited on our circular route around the channel starting and ending in our home port of Beaulieu.

Together we hoped to answer key questions about where plastic pollution is coming from, where it ends up, what damage it causes and how we can deal with it.

​

In 2019, we started sharing what we had learned and we were pleased to announce we held Clean Seas Odyssey Week at Portland Marina, Dorset from

19th to 25th August as part of their 10th birthday celebrations.

If you'd like us to share what we learned during our odyssey with your business, school or community group, please get in touch.
