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?

CWHP Admin 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.

Weekly Engagement & Involvement

Informing, Educating and Involving

Maritime assets who subscribe to The Clearwater Horizons Project are encouraged to enrol the sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandsons and granddaughters of their core crew 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, 1 each month
  • 52 Age-specific CWHP Creature Cards, one each 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.
