COLLABORATE

Many hands make light work! 

We are keen to collaborate with individuals,  
and organisations. Get in touch below. 

We are on a mission to use adventure sailing, citizen science and storytelling to inspire action for a healthy ocean among boating and coastal communities.

WANT TO JOIN IN?

Citizen Science Projects - get added to the directory.

 

If you've got a ocean citizen science project that needs more participants then please email details to us on hello@freerangeocean.org. We will look to add it to our directory - there is no cost for inclusion.

 

Please include:

- a description of the project

- tasks participants will help with

- a URL to a webpage with more information

- a link to a folder of photos or videos we can use for promotion

- a link to any video explainers on youtube/vimeo

- Any other details you'd like to share!

​

We will review the submission and be in touch with next steps. 

​

Adventure Science & Storytelling on board

 

Are you an early-career researcher or storyteller? Does our route or journey come to where you study, live or work? We are keen to make our vessel Freeranger available for at-sea experiences, research and as a platform for communications. Particularly for those local to the places we visit. 

​

Our careers in these fields showed us how important meaningful ocean experiences can be for those looking to pursue a career in ocean health. That's why we're keen to share the opportunity with others. If you're interested in coming aboard as crew, for a research or storytelling experience please get in touch: hello@freerangeocean.org 

Tell us about yourself, your work or studies and what you're hoping to get out of the experience and we can take it from there.  

​

Outreach and Innovation

​

We use FREERANGER as a platform for outreach and innovation, and as a testbed for innovative research-based or green-operational maritime technologies, from the simple solutions to the high-tech.

 

Do you have a piece of equipment you need to sea trial, deploy or test? Get in touch! Email duncan.copeland@freerangeocean.org to discuss.
