Every boat on the water has the power to protect—or harm—our ocean. That’s the message at the heart of Navigate with Care: Protect Our Oceans, a global campaign from the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN). An official activity of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, this campaign aims to promote safe and environmentally responsible boating practices that safeguard both people and marine ecosystems.
As part of this initiative, we are hosting a free, four-part webinar series to empower mariners, conservationists, and ocean advocates with practical knowledge to protect the ocean through safe navigation.
We hope you’ll join us for the first event in the series:
Navigate with Care: Introduction to Safe Navigation
Thursday, July 24, 2025
10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CEST
This inaugural webinar will explore the fundamentals of safe navigation and highlight how mariners can help prevent groundings, anchor damage, and collisions with marine life. Our panel of experts will share real-world insights on using Aids to Navigation (AtoNs), following international maritime regulations, and planning routes that avoid sensitive marine habitats.
Whether you operate a cargo ship, ferry, fishing vessel, sailboat, or kayak—or simply care about the health of the ocean—this webinar is for you. Safe boating is not only about protecting lives at sea—it’s also a powerful way to protect the reefs, seagrasses, mangroves, and marine animals that keep our ocean thriving.
This is just the beginning. The Navigate with Care series will go on to explore topics such as the environmental impacts of boating, the importance of AtoNs, and how nature-based solutions like coral reefs contribute to both maritime safety and coastal resilience.
