"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."
Sailors have a unique opportunity to demonstrate concern and respect for our threatened oceans and their inhabitants.
By signing the Blue Water Charter, each sailor agrees to limit the impact of their sailing activities on the marine environment. But perhaps more importantly, they agree to become an ambassador for the future of the oceans, estuaries, and inshore waters.
