Ahoy! My name is Harrie Kerley and I am the Founder of Salty Projects, a roving marine education & conservation program and Wandering Salty, a responsible, marine focused travel series.
Vision - Inspiring Passionate Children, Communities & Businesses to Protect Our Oceans
Vietnam 2018/19
Previously ‘SCUBA Projects’ our first campaign saw us (me and my cameraman) travel the length of Vietnam on a mission to raise awareness to the issue of plastic pollution and educate children on the consumption of single-use plastics.
Across the journey we:
- Removed over 60,000kgs of plastic pollution from beaches, reefs, jungles, rivers and city streets
- Reached over 1,000 students aged 5 - 15 with school presentations, workshops and plastic clean events
- Recruited over 750 volunteers from local and ex-pat communities, businesses, schools, environmental organisations & international travellers
- Roused over 7 million views online & attracted over 14,000 Facebook followers through national & international interest with media stations & social media sites covering the journey
Central America 2020
Salty’s second educational tour will start in the south of Mexico in Cancun and head down through the central american countries of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nigaragua, Costa Rica and Panama - with any luck (with support from you guys, I can continue down to South America!
2020 will see the birth of several new campaigns which you can help support:
Plastic for Playgrounds - Turning waste grounds into playgrounds
Help support us with the tools and equipment to turn disused and polluted spaces into fun spaces for communities to enjoy. We install playground equipment, waste infrastructure, educational murals & appoint a volunteer caretaker [complete with tools] to future proof it.
Mighty Marine Education Machine – We bring the ocean to classrooms across the country
Help support the creation of our mobile marine education station, a vehicle converted and developed to inspire school children both on the coast and inland. Children of all ages can enjoy presentations & workshops enabling them all to become #oceanactivists.
Wandering Salty - Our new responsible, marine focussed travel series on Youtube
Help support our brand new Youtube channel aimed at bringing marine education to Everyone! Youtube is the world’s second largest search engine and is the second watched ‘tv channel’ behind the BBC. My channel will document Salty Projects’ work and encourage responsible and environmentally-friendly travel.
