Sailing therapy for positive mental health
A pilot project to bring together marine conservation and social outreach has been launched in Cornwall.
The not-for-profit organisation, Clean Ocean Sailing worked with Cornish charities A Band of Brothers, Thera Sea and Simons House, along with the NHS, to run the Ocean Well Being Project, offering sailing trips to help people look after their mental health as well as learn about plastic pollution. Over three days, participants carried. The project was funded by the charity Sea-Changers, which delivers grants to UK marine charities and non-profits for conservation and research projects.
