Operation Beagle

A recent operation by YachtAid Global alongside three superyachts, saw clean water access implemented across every school in the Galapagos.

Operation Beagle, which was carried out in October and November, aimed to remedy water quality issues with integrated water storage tanks and filtration solutions, as well as deliver a reusable metal water bottle to every school child in the Galapagos to assist in reducing single use plastic.

“We teamed up with DragonFly, Nomadess and ArcticP to bring clean water access, reusable metal water bottles, and needs-based school supplies to Galapagos schools. Local agents Sea Masters Galapagos Yacht Agency, environmental education providers Mingas por el Mar, and local airline Tame Línea Aérea del Ecuador threw their expertise behind us to help reach every school child in the Galapagos,” says YachtAid Global director operations and strategy, Zoran Selakovic.

“Tame Línea Aérea del Ecuador provided cargo space to transport more than 8,000 re-usable metal water bottles, donated for this project, to the Galapagos, while the experts at Mingas por el Mar were by our side during the operation to educate children on the importance of conservation.”
