As you may know 1% of your order with Sun Powered Yachts goes directly to help support the PMDP in Hawaii. The goal of PMDP’s Marine Debris Removal Project is to reduce the threats of marine debris (primarily entanglement hazards) to the critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal, threatened Hawaiian green sea turtle, threatened humpback whale, protected seabirds, and sensitive coral reef ecosystems. They make multiple trips each summer to the outer Hawaiian islands and have recently completed the 2023 cleanup season.
