Using their sailboats OceansWatch members deliver marine conservation, educational resources, volunteers, humanitarian aid and sustainability projects, to islands and coastal communities in developing countries.
Working with yacht owners, sailors, divers, students, teachers, volunteers, doctors, nurses, ecologists and scientists, we undertake projects that help islands and coastal communities protect their marine environment, develop sustainable, healthy living standards and support their local schools. Join us to help with projects such as conducting Reef Check surveys, setting up and monitoring Marine Protected Areas, installing yacht moorings to protect coral reefs, marine mammal surveying, and humanitarian projects such as setting up sister schools, delivering school supplies, providing medical aid and installing drinking water, sanitation and sustainable clean energy systems.
The emphasis of OceansWatch North America (OWNA) is on projects in the Caribbean, Central and South America. Join us on our boats; your boat and other member's yachts that are used as project lead vessels. We have ongoing projects in Belize, Haiti, Tonga, Vanuatu, Soloman Islands and Papua New Guinea in partnership with other organizations. In 2010 OWNA is initiating projects in support of aid to schools and children in Haiti and Dominican Republic, with additional projects underway or planned for Mexico, Belize and Guatemala.
