"National Oceans Month (June) is an opportunity to show our gratitude toward all those who work to protect the oceans, to learn more about the vital role oceans play in the life of our country, and to discover ways we can conserve their many natural treasures."
We all sail because we enjoy nature more than any other reason.
It serves our self interest to protect our Air and Water.

Jean-Philippe and Stephane, Thanks for raising environmental awareness on the seas! There's much that can be improved on even with our (fiberglass) sailboats.

I support keeping the oceans clean! Did you know that the Oceans produce more oxygen than all of the trees on Earth?

I'm signing the charter because I want to be able to sail and swim in clean oceans. Healthy oceans means a healthy Earth and a healthy me.
