If you're a sailor and you're interested in protecting the sea, listen up: Today, we are launching our newest project, the Ocean Conservation Yacht Club, or OCYC.

Sailors spend more time on the ocean than most of us, so doesn't it follow that they should be invested in how they're treated? We think so.

Professional sailor Kristen Berry is the OCYC's commodore, and he's passionate about protecting the ocean.

Learn more at the OCYC site and blog, and if you happen to be at the Annapolis Boat Show today, head to JWorld Sailing School's booth -- Kristen will be there to answer any of your burning questions about sailing and conservation.

Oceana attended another successful regatta this weekend. We’ve been reaching out to the sailing community, encouraging them to limit their plastic consumption and donate.

I heard a truly remarkable story yesterday evening on NPR, the kind that made me stop my idle puttering to listen. Hilary Lister is attempting a solo sail around the British Isles, which she expects will take three to four months. The twist: She's quadriplegic -- able to move only her head, eyes, and mouth. She uses straws to sail the boat.
