We LOVE our coasts and seas,

but they are being CHOKED

by plastic waste

Sailing to #SaveOurSeas

Plastic waste is choking our coastlines and seas, but what can we do about it?

We’re on a voyage of discovery aboard the Amelie Rose, learning more about plastic pollution and exploring potential solutions to this crisis.

 

Join us, and let’s learn together how to #SaveOurSeas.

About the Project

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.

What's New

We met some amazing people and learned loads in 2018. We are now walking the talk in our day-to-day lives and still learning from those who are ensuring our seas are safe. It was such a whirlwind adventure, we did not have time to publish everything we found, so keep a watch here for our emerging videos, blogs and pictures. 

 

We are sharing everything that we learn and do on social media and in our logbook.
