We recently got an e-mail from New Zealand telling us about a great local initiative with the aim to take care of a beautiful beach, Waihi.

Every now and then we get an e-mail from someone expressing interest in Vac from the Sea and collaborating with us. These e-mails are always very welcome. It is inspiring to read about all the amazing projects and initiatives that are going on in different places all over the world. And of course, we feel happy and proud that Vac from the Sea is so appreciated.

At the moment we are not looking for new partnerships. But we are always interested in sharing thoughts on sustainability and the state of our oceans, and in making new acquaintances for possible future collaborations. So please keep writing to us. We regularly adress these topics in our different communication channels and gladly share information about inspiring projects, organization and initiatives!

Some of you have been wondering what one can do as an individual to get involved in the preservation of marine habitats, or specifically what to do with plastic debris found on beaches or when sailing. The answer to the first question is that our best suggestion is that you research what organizations there are in your town or area that are engaged in the issues you are interested in. There are so many organizations all over the world dedicated to various sustainability challenges and they always welcome support! Some good examples of marine organizations/projects are Save Our Baltic Sea, Plastiki, 5Gyres and Algalita. When it comes to plastic debris, we suggest that you contact your municipality and ask them for advice. Perhaps they have a recycling plant or designated places for plastic debris.
