A Successful Clean Regatta!

 

This past weekend, the St. Maarten Heineken regatta was certified as a clean regatta at the bronze level for the second year in a row! To reduce the use of plastic they supplied reusable bow numbers, biodegradable cups, and held a no straws policy during parties. To reduce the use of paper press packets were given out on a CD and paperless registration was available online. Additionally Sol provided marine absorbing pads to prevent oil spills.

2010 Ocean Guardians

Sailors have a deep connection to the water. A life long sailor, David Rockefeller Jr. founded Sailors for the Sea in 2004, after working on the Pew Ocean Commission. We need your help to strengthen our organization, and we invite you to become part of Sailors for the Sea as an Ocean Guardian. Please read about our Programs & Projects to learn more about what your membership will empower.
