The International SeaKeepers Society is a not-for-profit organisation focusing on the health of the world’s oceans and climate. SeaKeepers works with the boating and yachting community to take advantage of their unique potential in order to further marine research and to raise awareness about the issues our oceans face. The International SeaKeepers Society acts as a global catalyst working with governments, scientists, institutions, and other marine organisations to further its mission and to support sensible, achievable marine protection and restoration.
Nearly two hundred guests attended the annual Founders Event on Thursday 31 October, during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The gathering was held at a private waterfront property where guests enjoyed cocktails and dinner in a stunning setting.
