We are all In The Same Boat – join us!
The organization In The Same Boat are cleaning beaches along the beautiful Norwegian coastline. From April to November, our boats are on an expedition, with an international crew.
On our journey, we meet people along the coast, telling them about marine litter, and we arrange cleanup operations. We also make water samples, looking for microplastics with a microscope, and we make movies about the great value of the ocean, and about the problems related to plastics and marine litter.
If you will join us as crew, you will experience the most beautiful nature in Norway, and you will be taking part in the important job we are doing to clean beaches and tell the world about marine litter.
You will also learn about sailing and how to be safe at sea, and you will most likely get insight in the fishery- and fish farming industries, as we meet them quite often in our operations.
In your spare time, you may go hiking the mountains, free diving, paddling SUP, or other activities in the harbours we visit.
