Billions Of Pounds Of Plastic Pollute Our Oceans Today
What if you could help solve this environmental catastophe by voyaging with us as an influencer partner?

It's estimated that each year 16 billion pounds of plastic flow into the oceans from polluted rivers, shipping accidents, and many other sources. There is a sensational derivation of this estimate that has made headlines:

By 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish 🐠

It's a massive environmental catastrophe that we are only beginning to measure and understand. It took a generation to cause it, and it is likely going to take a generation to fix it. Let's get started! There are many aspects to the solution:

Innovating new materials that nature can cope with better than plastic.
Preventing plastic from ever getting into the oceans.
Running awareness and education campaigns.
Novel scientific and engineering approaches to solve the microplastics problem.
Cleanup efforts to physically remove plastic from the oceans.

We are contributing by running a small, fun, adventurous, and tactical project with the potential to make a big splash, with your help!

Sailing Adventures ⛵
That Protect Our Oceans

Innovation Bound and Clean Oceans International are partnering to launch environmentally beneficial sailing adventures!

There is a tremendous effort around the world to convert every product and service to a sustainable format. Everything is going green, and we're setting out to join this effort by launching sailing adventures that actually protect and heal our ocean environment.

For starters, sailing runs on wind power 😉 Clean Oceans International has been pioneering the use of plastic-to-fuel conversion technology which removes incentives to dump plastic into the ocean. We plant trees to offset carbon footprints, and conduct beach surveys and ocean plastic hauls to assess and repair habitat damage.

This is also the voyage of a lifetime! Our sailing adventures include all kinds of fun activities like wildlife photography, snorkeling, diving, surfing, wakeboarding, (occasionally something epic like whale rescue or transiting the Panama Canal), and of course sailing!

We are just a humble vessel with some innovative tech and a misfit crew. We need Instagram Influencers to partner up and help spread the word! Which is where you come in...
