Robert van Tol, executive director of Water Revolution Foundation, spoke with Diane M. Byrne for the Megayacht News Radio podcast.
During this podcast, Robert and Diane discussed the following key issues:
How Water Revolution Foundation is different than other environmental-minded organisations
Why the founders believe that taking action now, and maintaining focus on actionable items, can help future-proof yachting for both the industry and owners
How the organization aims to become a central resource, for a range of different parties
How the yachting industry can borrow sustainability best practices that area already proven in other industries.
Our enthusiastic founding board met in Monaco during the Monaco Ocean Week at the end of March to put the initial plans in place. Learn more about this group of key figures from the superyacht industry and experts in their respective fields here.
Water Revolution Foundation was honoured to have been selected by Dan Lenard as one of two beneficiary organisations for his courageous Vela Code endeavour. Dan sailed solo across the Atlantic Ocean to raise awareness of ocean pollution, something we can all very well relate to thanks to our experiences in the yachting industry. Dan successfully completed his crossing on 3 March 2019, covering over 7,700 km with no engine, compass or GPS – just the sun, stars and a strong desire to make a change. Thank you for your support, Dan!
