About The Clearwater Horizons Project

Our Story

The Clearwater Horizons Project is the result of 15 years of observations and 6 years of work to come up with an effective solution to eradicate a specific category of maritime plastic waste that can be found in our ocean. The problem we want to eradicate is currently unacknowledged.

Our Team

We're a small but highly motivated and passionate team. Orca Access Services director, Peter Dawson, began his interest in all things oceanic whilst watching Jacques-Yves Cousteau in the 1970s and began scuba-diving himself in 1988. He's spent a great deal of his time since 2010 working at sea in oceans around the world.

The Solution

This initiative has a unique and innovative 'carrot & stick' incentive-based method of preventing this plastic waste from entering the sea and creates a connection between the offshore maritime world and the sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, grandsons and granddaughters of any maritime asset's crew members. The Clearwater Horizons Project also helps to raise awareness of the problem of plastic waste in The Ocean, aiming to interest and engage the youth of today, after all they're the ones who will eventually inherit The Ocean.


This is a global problem and we want our solution to be too!

The Savings

Involvement in The Clearwater Horizons Project also brings annual cost savings to offshore companies.


The more assets you operate the bigger the savings. We can confidently predict reductions in operating costs as shown below, and these are very conservative estimates:


  • 5 Offshore assets with a 90 POB could save in excess of £193,500 annually


  • 10 Offshore assets with a 90 POB could save in excess of £387,000 annually


  • 20 Offshore assets with a 90 POB could save in excess of £774,000 annually


  • 30 Offshore assets with a 90 POB could save in excess of £1.1 million each and every year


Higher POB figures mean even bigger annual savings. Wouldn't YOU like to reduce your operating costs?

Weekly Engagement & Involvement

Informing, Educating and Involving

Our Maritime Partners who subscribe to The Clearwater Horizons Project are encouraged to enrol the sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandsons and granddaughters of their employees also. This provides each enrolled child with weekly and monthly age-specific items for a year including:


  • 12 Keel Toys for UK Key Stage 1, one each month
  • 12 Schleich Creatures for UK Key Stage 2, one each month
  • 52 Age-specific CWHP Creature Cards, one every week for a year, which also give exclusive access to our online CWHP Creature Info Pages via the QR Code on each card
  • The Ocean Encyclopedia from Dorling Kindersley on their birthday

An Orca Adoption

We work closely with a range of partners to achieve our goal of a quantifiable reduction in ocean plastic waste. We have an option for schools to become connected to the offshore maritime world also, with each class involved able to adopt and choose an real-life Orca, in conjunction with The Whale Museum which can be found in San Juan County, Washington State, USA.


Proceeds from these Orca Class Adoptions helps to support their ongoing education, research and public outreach on behalf of the Southern Resident Community of Killer Whales.


Each Classroom Adoption includes:

 

  • A personalized adoption certificate with a 3" x 5" photo of your whale.
  • A personal biography of your whale.
  • A genealogy chart.
  • A 16-page informational booklet about the Southern Resident Orcas.
  • An annual subscription to the Cetus newsletter.
  • Monthly Orca updates delivered via email.
  • Personalized adoption certificates for up to 30 students (Contact us if there are more than 30)
  • Activities and handouts for the classroom.
  • A one-year Whale Museum individual membership for the teacher.

The Clearwater Horizons Project HQ

Located close to the most central part of the UK, at the Dunston Innovation Centre, Chesterfield, this is the Administrative HQ of Orca Access Services, the driving force behind this project.

Environmental Policy Statement

  

Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future


At Orca Access Services, we recognise that our planet faces an urgent need for an energy transition - a shift from fossil fuels to clean, renewable sources. We accept and support this global responsibility and are committed to contributing positively toward a sustainable future for all.


Renewable Energy and Responsible Development


We actively support the development of renewable energy technologies, including wind power, provided such projects are carefully located to avoid significant negative impacts on wildlife or sensitive ecosystems. We believe environmental progress and biodiversity protection must go hand in hand.


Waste Reduction and Resource Efficiency


We are committed to minimising waste across all our operations. This includes:


  • Reducing single-use plastics in our business activities and supply chains.
  • Maximising recycling and promoting circular use of materials wherever possible.
  • Encouraging suppliers and partners to adopt similar responsible practices.


Personal Responsibility and Behavioural Change


We recognise that environmental stewardship begins with individual action. Every member of our company - and every citizen - shares responsibility for the correct disposal of plastic waste. We commit to raising awareness, providing education and leading by example to ensure plastic waste is not discarded into the environment.


The Clearwater Horizons Project


To reinforce our dedication to marine conservation, we established The Clearwater Horizons Project - an initiative focused on tackling marine plastic waste globally. The project works to collect, quantify and recycle plastic litter, especially that found near water bodies including rivers, lakes and coastal environments. Through The Clearwater Horizons Project, we aim to protect aquatic ecosystems and inspire companies and communities to take local action against pollution.


Continuous Improvement

We will monitor, review and continually improve our environmental performance to ensure our practices align with the highest standards of sustainability. Our goal is to make a measurable contribution to the global effort against climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss.
