Clean Regattas is the world’s leading sustainability certification for all on-the-water, near-the-water, and water-loving events, reaching over 1 million sailors and attendees across 53 countries since 2006. Our goal at Sailors for the Sea Powered by Oceana is to provide organizers with the most impactful ways to turn their event into one that’s better for attendees, communities, and our planet. Sailors and boaters see firsthand many of the issues that our waterways face and are perfectly positioned to protect our playground. We are proud to work with all types of events to help strengthen the connection sailors have to the environment. Our actions can have a powerful impact and organizers are incredibly creative in implementing sustainable initiatives. I particularly love working with youth events, as kids are the future of environmental stewardship, and are so passionate about incorporating environmentally friendly tactics. We’re so glad to work with the Open Skiff North Americans and look forward to many events to come with the Augusta Sailing Club!
