RACING FOR THE OCEAN
Discover how we are helping people understand their connection to the ocean and driving action to protect our marine world.
From the remote Southern Ocean to the busy Mediterranean, we witness the ocean’s fragility firsthand. It is our racetrack, our workplace, and our life source. But it is under threat. We are harnessing the relentless resilience of our teams to tackle the ultimate challenge: the race for the ocean.
Using our global sports platform, we unite partners, host cities, and fans to drive real change. Our goal is bold: to restore humanity's connection to the sea and secure the recognition of Ocean Rights by 2030 (UN Ocean Decade). Achieving the extraordinary is in our DNA.
Our Ocean Actions
To achieve our objectives, sailors will conduct a comprehensive ocean science programme, gathering critical data on climate change. This work is complemented by an ocean literacy programme, helping to engage diverse communities in understanding ocean health and sustainability. An Access and Inclusion programme will also ensure that learning and participation opportunities around sailing are open and welcoming to all, strengthening connections between science, education, and stewardship of our seas. The Ocean Race Atlantic will further promote sustainable event excellence, embedding environmentally responsible practices across all activities and engagements.
In partnership with 11th Hour Racing, the New York stopover will feature:
- Inclusive Sailing: A dedicated DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) event.
- The Ocean Race x The Magenta Project STEM Clinic: Educational programming for students.
- Science Corner: A space dedicated to ocean health and the data collected by the fleet. (TBC for NYC)
