Introducing the Plastic Onboard Program

Sail Clean, Sail Green!

Ever find yourself cruising the open seas, only to be rudely interrupted by a plastic bottle floating by? Us too. It's a stark reminder that our beloved oceans are facing a serious pollution problem.

The Plastic Predicament

Let’s face it: plastic pollution is the uninvited guest at our ocean party. With the ocean covering over 70% of our planet and home to countless marine species, the impact of plastic waste is catastrophic. Each year, millions of tons of plastic enter the ocean, and by 2050, it’s predicted that plastic will outweigh fish. Yikes! And don’t even get us started on microplastics—those tiny, pesky particles that are harder to see than your yacht keys when you’re already late to the dock.

The Dreamer Foundation's Plan

Here's where we swoop in like superheroes. The "Plastic Onboard" program is designed to tackle plastic pollution head-on, especially focusing on microplastics. Our mission is to educate, innovate, and motivate the sailing community to adopt sustainable practices. Here’s what we’re bringing to the table:

1. Educational Outreach:
   • We’re rolling out workshops and seminars that make learning about plastic pollution as engaging as a sunset sail. Expect hands-on activities, interactive sessions, and maybe even a few sea shanties about saving the oceans.
2. Research and Development:
   • Partnering with top-notch researchers, we’re diving deep (pun intended) into the science of microplastics. We aim to understand how they impact marine life and develop strategies to reduce their presence in our waters.
3. Sustainable Technologies:
   • From biodegradable sailing gear to advanced waste management systems on yachts, we’re pushing the boundaries of eco-friendly technology. Think natural fiber composites for boat building and compactors that make trash disappear faster than you can say “man overboard.”
4. Policy and Advocacy:
   • We’re not just stopping at the docks. Our advocacy efforts will work with policymakers to create regulations that promote sustainable practices and reduce plastic waste in the maritime industry.

Join the Crew

The Dreamer Foundation invites you to be part of the solution. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor, a weekend warrior, or just love the sea, there’s a place for you in the Plastic Onboard program. Together, we can sail towards a cleaner, greener future.

Remember, the only footprint we want to leave is in the sand, not in the sea. Let’s make waves in sustainability and show the world that the sailing community is leading the charge against plastic pollution.
