Pledge to Navigate with Care
Commit to navigating with care—and protecting what matters most.
The International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN) and the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation invite you to pledge to navigate with care—by committing to safe, responsible boating practices that help protect marine ecosystems and improve safety at sea.
Whether you’re a professional mariner, recreational boater, or ocean advocate, your actions on the water make a difference. By taking the #NavigateWithCare Pledge, you’re standing up for safer seas and healthier marine ecosystems.
When you take the pledge, you commit to:
- Using navigation tools and Aids to Navigation (AtoNs) to avoid damaging sensitive marine habitats
- Anchoring and navigating responsibly to prevent harm to coral reefs, seagrass beds, and mangrove forests
- Following the IALA Maritime Buoyage System and respecting local no-go zones and marine protected areas
- Adhering to SOLAS and COLREGS to prevent collisions and enhance safety at sea
- Promoting safe and sustainable boating by leading through example
As a token of your commitment, you’ll receive a #NavigateWithCare badge to show you’re helping protect our oceans—one voyage at a time.
