Sea The Future - Groups - Action Tools

Details

Name: Sea The Future
Description:
Sea The Future provides individuals from around the world with the opportunity and assistance to unite and connect through a variety of on the ground projects, for the purpose of creating a safe and biologically diverse future for generations to come through on the ground research, eco volunteering, sponsorship opportunities for recognized individuals, and conscientious consumerism.

In recent years, eco tourism has exploded onto the scene, bringing with it a sense of ownership and responsibility to eco volunteers regarding people, places, animals and the environment, the world over. Eco volunteering isn’t a new idea. It is a chance to give back to the world, and enjoy the experience of donating your time and energy into a great cause, get your hands dirty, and be part of the solution. But eco volunteering can be expensive, and unfortunately money rarely makes its way back into the communities and on the ground projects, resulting in a distrust and dislike regarding tourism, and tourist activities. Sea The Future SEES THE FUTURE…. And is different to many existing volunteer companies. It offers experiences. And it doesn’t discriminate based on financial income.

Sea The Future takes all the best parts about travel, mixes these with amazing new technologies and ideas and collaborates with local community groups to offer incredible and honest life experiences.

The idea is simple. Engage people! Volunteers, stakeholders, AND local communities in the areas that we are working. Lets make sure that local community groups WANT us to be there. Lets make tourism a positive, GREEN experience. Include local governments and communities in the decision making process. Lets be conscientious consumers! We will use local produce from local farmers, local materials and tradesmen. Train local people to be project coordinators. Utilize home stays and seasonal foods for a truly authentic experience. Lets harness solar power and rain water where possible. Just imagine having the adventure of a lifetime, KNOWING that your participation is TRULY making a difference! Imagine if we could make our footprint next to nothing using new and innovative technologies and ideas!
Starting to get the idea? Sea the Future is about being the change you want to see in the world. No more passive participation. Now is the time for action!

Sea the Future isn’t focused on profits. It is focused on TRUE EXPERIENCES, WORHTWHILE PARTICIPATION, and SKILL SHARING. There are plenty of people volunteering their time, energy and money to a variety of causes locally, nationally and internationally. People do this not because they want the fame or recognition for their good deeds, but because they enjoy helping. It’s in their nature. Isn’t this an even better reason why such individuals then SHOULD be recognized?

As part of the Sea the Future program, such dedicated and passionate individuals will be congratulated for their community involvement. Nominated by their peers, individuals will be offered scholarships to attend projects on a local, national or international basis, free of charge, as a thank you for their recognized hard work, but also to allow knowledge and skill sharing amongst the wider communities.

This project is big. It allows people from around the world to unite, connect, share knowledge and experience, and ultimately to forge a sense of ownership to their community, their projects, and to the world as a whole. When we truly feel responsible for our actions, can we understand that we ARE THE CHANGE we want to see. We can start to TAKE ACTION, and look to the future.

Interested individuals from the world over will all be stakeholders in Sea The Future although the level of their interest will decide the level of their involvement. Local communities, wildlife and the environment around them will all play a crucial role in this project, and will benefit from it. The scientific and conservationist community as a whole, and funding partners, in addition to those parties mentioned above will have active stakeholder positions. But more than anyone else, it is the YOU, the active participants, who are the stakeholders. It is YOU who will benefit from this project. I want YOU to Se The Future, and Be The Change you want to you in the world. Now is the time for action, so come on and join the movement!
