Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am aiming to singlehandedly sail around Britain this summer on my 26 foot wooden sailboat, to raise money for Sea Shepherds UK. They are an amazing charity who are trying to put an end to illegal fishing, and remove Ghost nets from the ocean. 

Ghost nets (old decarded fishing nets, floats, pots...) are one of the biggest plastic contributors, and are estimated to make up over 50% of all ocean plastics. They are not just littering the sea, but are also a huge hazard to marine wildlife, and can be lethal to even the biggest sea creatures.

Whilst trying to stop illegal fishing, and create awareness about the astonishing rate at which the seas are being overfished, Sea Shepherds ARE NOT trying to stop all fishing. The ultimate goal is to find a way we can fish sustainably, without completely stripping the ocean of sea creatures, corals, and sea-weeds.

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
