CREATING LEADERS IN OCEAN HEALTH

Students engaged in ocean literacy education and sustainability design challenges in 2021

People attended events we sponsored in 2021

Sponsorships have led to a sizeable shift in the sailing industry’s approach to sustainability

OUR UNIQUE PROPOSITION

We use the power of sport to sell sustainability instead of products. By sponsoring organizations and events interested in reducing their environmental impact, we enable them to become leaders in ocean health. Our sponsorships provide funds, tools, and resources to empower with a focus on sport, strategic innovation, and sustainable technologies.

We place a strong emphasis on the connection between land and water — because what happens on land affects our ocean and waterways.
