The International SeaKeepers Society supports its mission through boat and yacht donations that support the DISCOVERY Yacht Program, their foremost initiative in accomplishing scientist-led expeditions, citizen science, educational outreach and community engagement. Donors are assisted throughout the process, from pick-up of the vessel to preparation of the necessary paperwork to complete the donation. Benefits of eliminating ownership costs while making a positive impact on the state of our oceans are significant.
Who is The International SeaKeepers Society?
SeaKeepers is a non-profit organization that supports oceanographic research, conservation, and education through direct involvement with the yachting community. By connecting vessel owners with the scientific and educational community, SeaKeepers takes full advantage of its unique potential to advance marine science and raises awareness on global ocean issues. In a collaborative effort with various organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies, SeaKeepers facilitates comprehensive programs and experiences that are unique with both the vessel and the science in mind.
