Fundraising

 As I sail round Britain, I will be trying to raise money for 2 ocean pollution charities - Sea Shepherd UK , and Lonely Whale .



I have set up a JustGiving page for Sea Shepherd UK, they are an amazing charity, who are trying to stop illegal fishing, and rid the ocean of ghost nets.

The Ghost nets (discarded fishing gear) are one of the main contributors to ocean plastics, and as well as littering the sea, they are also a major hazard to marine wildlife. They eventually break down into microplastics, which then enter our food chain and end up back inside us. If you would like to support this charity, the link is below!
Lonely Whale are also a great charity, who basically stop ocean-bound plastics, and convince big companies like IKEA, and Dell computer manufacturers to use this recycled plastic in their products.


Lonely Whale are also focused on raising awareness about ocean health, and are connecting with young people across the world, trying to educate and empower them.
I can't set up a JustGiving page for Lonely Whale, as they aren't a UK based charity, but the link to their website is here:
