In this new episode, meet Oliver, from Sail Britain and listen to our conversation that I had the pleasure to record on Merlin...  Oliver is a sailor, an environmentalist, and is passionate about people. So Oliver takes people on board of his boat for a week at sea, to experience the ocean & learn about marine conservation.  For him, bringing people together, from multiple backgrounds, on a sailing boat, is pure joy. Over half of the year, Sail Britain organises weeks at sea, with each week having a theme, where people can come on board, get some experience of sailing but more importantly, talk about the ocean. The people on board are sometimes marine biologists, artists, social scientists, video makers ... each week is multi-disciplinary and makes the journey diverse and creative.  I have had the opportunity to meet Oliver a couple of times, and each time our conversations around the saloon table of Merlin have been rich, deep and inspiring. This time, I have recorded a part of our conversation, and decided to share it on the podcast, where more people can get inspired by it.  We both believe that people need to experience the ocean for them to care about it and to protect it. And it's exactly what Sail Britain is about.  Listen to this episode to learn about Sail Britain & about how we can bring people together to experience the ocean !  More information about Sail Britain & Oliver: Website: http://www.sailbritain.org Instagram: @sailbritain Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliver-beardon-6338348a/ You can find me here: Instagram: @plymouthbeneaththesurface Twitter: @twosealions.
