Marine Life & Ocean Conservation
Our unifying of conservation and humanitarian objectives improves local understanding, accelerates progress, strengthens success, and the longevity of outcomes. YachtAid Global’s conservation program opportunities span from environmental and marine life conservation to blue carbon offset efforts conserving mangroves and wetlands to involving communities in mural creation and environmentally aligned disaster relief methods.
Ocean Conservation
Research and Data
YachtAid Global runs “Operation Swimway”, a conservation program featuring investments into the equipment and science of ocean conservation while enabling interested owners, guests, and crew to work closely with distinguished members of the scientific community to accelerate the conservation of pelagic species.
In French Polynesia, Operation Swimway is focused on the conservation of critical migration corridors for sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, and billfish along these routes.
A research initiative collecting data on Tiger Sharks to better understand the behavioural traits and spatial dynamics of the specious to identify and protect local pupping grounds for the at risk species.
Aiming to safeguard critical migratory routes for marine megafauna, with an initial focus on enhancing the understanding of the movement patterns of tiger sharks and silky sharks in the area.
With little knowledge about the Epaulette shark, (walking sharks), this study is helping to establish a population baseline and provide data to enable local scientists to implement effective conservation strategies, helping to ensure the long-term survival of the species.
