Marine conservation organizations are vital to our boating industry<\/a>. Our ocean ecosystem makes up 70% of the Earth\u2019s surface, and it is under threat. From overfishing, pollution to climate change, many dedicated groups strive to restore and protect the oceans from numerous challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Boatbookings,<\/a> we value the work that these inspiring organizations are doing to protect and preserve marine ecosystems and biodiversity; here, we shine a spotlight on some of these: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blue Marine Foundation <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From Greece<\/a> and Italy <\/a>to The Maldives<\/a> and Patagonia, the Blue Marine Foundation <\/strong>has a whole host of projects around the world. They work to secure protected areas, develop models for sustainable fishing, restore marine habitats, and highlight unsustainable fishing to connect people and communities. The Blue Marine Yacht Club works to unite the yachting community in protecting the oceans through donations, support, and expertise. Since its launch in 2012, shipyards like Feadship<\/a>, Lurssen<\/a>, and Benetti <\/a>have been involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea Shepherd <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Renowned for its direct action campaigns, Sea Shepherd<\/strong> defends various issues surrounding preserving marine wildlife. The marine conservation organization has a fleet of boats whose sole purpose is to protect the oceans in line with conservation law against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing<\/a>. Sea Shepherd now has an international fleet with ten ships and several smaller boats. They are on the front line, and we admire the hands-on approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Ocean <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One issue that is still plaguing our oceans is that of plastic pollution. The average person uses 9 pounds of single-use plastic every month, and a lot is ending up in our waterways. The ocean cleanup organization 4Ocean <\/strong>is a certified B corp. It is using the power of business to fund a global cleanup operation to recover millions of pounds of plastic from our oceans. Founded by two surfers after their trip to Bali<\/a>, they recognized the issue and wanted to make a difference; they sell bracelets made from recovered plastic and run a plastic offsetting program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coral Reef Alliance<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated to coral reef conservation, this environmental non-profit is based in California. It works to reduce the threats to reef damage, ensuring that they can continue to adapt to climate change. With problems such as pollution, sedimentation, overfishing, and sustainable tourism, coral reefs are in danger. The Coral Reef Alliance <\/strong>combines advanced science with community engagement, particularly scuba divers, to help protect and preserve. The projects are mainly located in Hawaii and the Western Caribbean<\/a>; however, they raise awareness on a global level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can You Support?<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Supporting these and other marine conservation organizations doesn\u2019t require a science degree. You can get involved in so many different ways. Firstly donations are vital and help fund research and on-the-ground initiatives. If it is time you have, organizations are always looking for volunteers, whether a beach clean-ups or community-led projects. You can also spread awareness to educate others; why not send and share this blog to your network and help make a difference? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above everything, you must be helping become part of the solution, not the problem, and adopt greener practices in everything you do, including boating. Firstly, reducing your carbon footprint is critical; to do this, you need to calculate it. For all our charters, you can use our carbon offset calculator.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact our team <\/a>today to find out about our greener crewed charter catamarans<\/a> for you to enjoy the ocean more responsibly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
