CRUISE WITH A CAUSE
All of the projects below are carried out by our support yachts!
CWAC networks boat owners and sailors traveling in the Caribbean with humanitarian and environmental NGOs working on the islands. Volunteers can 'cruise with a cause' as they deliver supplies, personel, or themselves as volunteers, to help out Cruising With A Cause or one of our partner organizations.

MARINE CONSERVATION
Reef Guardian Training
Cruising With A Cause awards fiscal sponsorship to help send dedicated students or professionals to work with Oceanswatch New Zealand for their Reef Guardian Program training.
Graduates will then be able to help us set up fisheries management plans for communities in the Americas.
Marine Surveys
We help volunteers to conduct various marine monitoring surveys while they are at sea. Yachties can then feed back useful information about the health of our oceans.
Cruising With A Cause currently provides citizen-science guidelines for marine mammal surveys, coral surveys, marine bird surveys, and water quality testing.
SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS
Efficient Cooking Stoves
Haiti
We are working on plans for an efficient cooking stove that can be constructed from locally sourced materials in Haiti.
Our stoves will help reduce dependence on wood and charcole fuel cut from Haiti's rapidly diminishing mangrove swamps, which are important as both a barrier to storm damage, and as a marine habitat.
Composting Toilets
Haiti
Also in Haiti, Cruising With A Cause is helping local communities to build simple composting toilets, which will reduce the spread of cholera due to lack of sanitation.
