Environmental Ocean Team (EOT) is an English based company whose core mission focuses on oceanographic research and science outreach. The aim is to inform the public about crucial issues such as climate change, conservation of the natural environment and sustainable development. EOT sports an international team of scientists, researchers, top sailors and media experts, and uses specially equipped yachts for the collection and analysis of environmental data. The oceans are a fundamental asset to our planet; home to a vast array of diverse life forms; central in the history and development of mankind, for food, trade, and the spread of civilization itself; and, most importantly, inextricably linked to the Earth’s climate and therefore a key factor in the future of the planet. It is the stability of this climate that today is being threatened by human activities contributing to pollution, the “greenhouse effect”, and global climate change. Large scale marine currents and processes are in effect the heating & cooling systems of our planet. In order to understand how to mitigate climate change and conserve the marine environment for future generations, we must monitor the changes within the ocean. We have a duty to educate future generations about the importance of the oceans, so they can appreciate and help preserve them, while using them for recreation and resource, in a conscientious and sustainable manner. Environmental Ocean Team is a company created in response to these demands, consisting of members who have a passion for the sea. We intend to bring together science with recreational sailing, by carrying out oceanographic research from sailing boats, which are inherently ecologically friendly, and to disseminate the findings to a wider public via various media platforms. We intend to take measurements of, and carry out analysis on, physical, chemical and biological data and to actively monitor life in the oceans.  We also intend to produce documentaries on issues such as global climate change, and the Mediterranean Sea as a laboratory to study oceanographic processes. The documentaries will include scientists and their work from various oceanography centres. It is hoped that the documentaries will be narrated by internationally renowned yachtsmen, including Giovanni Soldini. It is the company’s intention to actively seek the involvement of students from oceanographic centres around the world in the collection and analysis of data. Scientific filming will be complemented by programs more directly geared towards entertainment; these could include the filming of remote places which are only accessible by boat, with excursions ashore, in order to document the indigenous flora, fauna and peoples; documenting the beauty of various coastal regions; and giving a picture of life on board a research vessel. Environmental Ocean Team members have offered to make their personal yachts available to study and to monitor the Mediterranean Sea. Several other yacht owners have also expressed an interest in the project. Environmental Ocean Team has a broad spectrum of oceanographic expertise ranging from physical oceanography to marine biology. The company therefore has the capability of acquiring and analysing marine data independently, as well as through collaboration with research centres.
