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.

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 project has a innovative 'carrot & stick' incentive-based method of preventing this waste and creates a connection between the offshore maritime world and the schools  of the sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, grandsons and granddaughters of a maritime asset's crew members. The Clearwater Horizons Project also helps to raise awareness of this problem, aiming to interest and engage the youth of today, those who will eventually inherit the ocean.


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

Our CWHP Offshore Assets - From Oil Rigs to Shipping

Individual offshore and maritime assets are invited to join The Clearwater Horizons Project. Participating members diligently collect all plastic waste produced offshore and quantify this on a weekly basis.

CWHP Admin Hub

 Plastic Waste figures from offshore are emailed to Dunston Innovation Centre every Friday, the main office of Orca Access Services, the driving force behind this project.

The weekly quantities are collated and transferred to The Global League Table on the project website.

CWHP League Tables

Available to be viewed online on the CWHP website there is a Global Totals Table with others showing our progress sea by sea,  ocean by ocean.

You can find them here.

Our CWHP Onshore Assets - Our Schoolchildren

  • 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 over the school year including:
  • 12 Keel Toys for Key Stage 1, one each month
  • 12 Schleich Creatures for Key Stage 2, 1 each month
  • 52 Age-specific Creature Cards, one each week for the school year which gives 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


(NOTE: The school structure shown above is for illustrative purpose only and shows the age structure in Scotland. All country's are catered for as we have a similar, equivalent set-ups available including England, Norway, United States of America and India to name but a few.

An Orca Adoption

We work closely with a range of partners to achieve our goal of a quantifiable reduction in ocean plastic waste. Any child enrolled in this project through an offshore asset also gets to choose an real-life Orca for their class to adopt in conjunction with The Whale Museum.  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.


The 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.
