Burgess x Blue Oceans Global Clean Up
Published 16 五月 2023
Ocean plastic is on track to triple by 2060 and it’s not just beaches we need to clean. From riverbanks to fields and forests, plastic and rubbish makes its way into the ocean in many different ways. We can help to stop it.
In a huge worldwide collaboration between Burgess Blue Oceans and Burgess Crew Services, each Burgess office ran its own clean up between 8-14 May and we encouraged colleagues and friends worldwide to join us.
Yacht crews the world over led the charge and signed up to clean the areas where their yachts were lying. This was a chance to bring together teams, crews, family and friends, partnership organisations and other companies in the industry to realise the impact we can all have collectively.
To all who joined in to make a positive difference in the world, thank you.

Crew feedback

'Thanks for creating such an inspiring fleet-wide co-operative. This has truly been sensational and we look forward to the next one and perhaps seeing a wave of change within the industry and a notion of "giving back" to the ocean.'
'It's actually amazing how much litter there is everywhere and your programme motivated us to just start picking it up' Algy Dzerefos, Engineer, MIKADO
'It was a great initiative and the crew thoroughly enjoyed it!' Anya van den Heever, Chief Stewardess, SUNRAYS
'Thank you for organising this event.'
