The OCC is working towards helping our members maintain a sustainable lifestyle without contributing damage to the environment and where possible helping to repair damage done.
We do not need to recreate what others have already spent considerable resources creating for sailors. Instead, we will share what others have successfully trialled, attempt to set goals and measure results when possible, and identify additional needs where we find gaps.
Our members are among the most wide-ranging of all travellers on earth and see at first hand the pollution of the oceans and the degradation of the marine environment, along with experiencing the effects of climate change. We intend to find ways to report environmental problems encountered to the relevant authorities and to help our members make a real difference.
