Free Range Ocean - SV Freeranger

Aug 5, 2025

A registered UK not-for-profit organisation dedicated to inspiring purposeful journeys with meaningful impact for the oceans. Run by experienced marine advocates Larissa Clark and Duncan Copeland who are on a mission to use adventure sailing, citizen science and storytelling to inspire action for a healthy ocean among boating and coastal communities.

In mid-2024 they launched the Ocean Citizen Science Project directory, a freely accessible online tool that people can use to find interesting research projects they can participate in – be it boat owners sampling seawater for plankton while sailing off shore, or families at the beach surveying for invasive species, inshore fishers reporting on kelp forests or water-tourists sharing whale photos of their sightings on their adventures.

They’ve researched ocean-impact citizen science projects around the world that need your help!
