Every minute, the equivalent of a rubbish truck full of plastic is dumped into the sea.

The ocean is suffocating, marine wildlife is disappearing… but there is still time to act!

Why take action with the Jacques Martel Foundation?

For the past five years, the Jacques Martel Foundation has been supporting projects of general interest, with a strong focus on raising awareness.

On 23rd November, to mark the Foundation’s fifth anniversary, a committed crew will board the ‘Lazyjack 2’ sailing boat for a crossing of the Atlantic.

On the agenda:

🎥 The production of a documentary film on the state of the ocean,

🌱 A waste collection initiative upon arrival,

🌍 An awareness campaign on long-term environmental issues

👉 Through this project, the Jacques Martel Foundation aims to document the reality of the ocean and the environmental risks that threaten it, but also to show that it is possible for everyone to take concrete action, each in their own way.

And for the occasion, the Jacques Martel Foundation is bringing on board a committed player in ocean protection: the Surfrider Foundation Europe.

How can you get involved?

This crossing is an opportunity to appeal to the generosity of sea lovers and all those who, like us, are aware of the fragility of this ecosystem and want to play a part in preserving it.

🎯 And thanks to the Jacques Martel Foundation, every €1 collected = €2 donated * to Surfrider Foundation Europe

To thank you, we are opening the doors to adventure: you will discover the crew’s travel book and receive exclusive information related to ocean protection.

Where do your donations go?

All donations will be given to Surfrider Foundation Europe, a leading association that fights against marine pollution and protects marine and coastal areas.

This means that every contribution has a tangible impact:

€40 = 1 waste collection kit

€100 = your donation helps raise awareness among 200 people!

€250 = enables regular monitoring of waste pollution on a beach

+ €500 = a huge help in carrying out advocacy work against plastic pollution in France and Europe

Together for the blue planet

Every donation counts, and with the Jacques Martel Foundation, every euro has a double impact.
