Last week, journalists and TV teams joined and our crew, sharing interviews about the conservation work we’re doing here in Costa Rica.
👏 We’re incredibly grateful to see this story reach over 50 TV segments, radio shows, and media platforms, a huge step in raising awareness for the protection of these ecosystems and the wildlife that depend on them.
🚨In our latest study in the Península de Osa, we found that 100% of the longlines we inspected showed irregularities, and 77% of hooks were using illegal live bait.
🚨 Our monitoring from November 2025 reveals a consistent and concerning pattern of non-compliance in Costa Rica’s South Pacific, putting key species at risk.
🌿 We’re calling for stronger enforcement at sea, increased patrols, better operational resources, and stronger coordination between institutions.
Big shoutout to the team who made this super amazing event happen! 👏

From 5m Zodiacs to 8m RHIBs, all the way up to the 45m Modoc — around 500 tons, crews of up to 30 and missions often running remotely and through the night. In those moments, you need to be ready to step up and handle the vessel when the captain can’t.
And still — anchoring a big ship like the Modoc in a crowded bay? That’s the kind of situation that makes my hands sweat every time 😅
What keeps me calm is knowing that even someone like Pete, with decades of experience and a world circumnavigation record, still feels that same respect for the moment.
Some things don’t change - glad to learn from the best 🙏
Unfortunately, we also discovered the remains of a juvenile hammerhead shark - likely caught and consumed.
📍 Beach clean-up near Golfito, our main harbour, surrounded by beautiful mangroves.
Big shout-out to the crew! 💪

Result: a shoreline cleared and a barge full of old tires and waste 💪
With an incredible crew of volunteers, we pulled dozens of discarded tires from the sand and surf. Piece by piece, we loaded the waste onto our floating barge and brought it back to land.
👏 Big shout-out to the crew!

🌿 We work with government park rangers, and most of our operations are in support of them in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, and in land national parks such as Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. Our new agreement with Panama covers the MPA around the beautiful island of Coiba, and marine patrols will begin in early 2025.
🌿 Support us with donations, share our mission with your friends and family, and volunteer on our ship!
Thank you for supporting conservation with us! 🤙
