Ocean Research Project Donation
from US$20.00

Help support Matt Rutherford & Nicole Trenholm’s mission for healthier oceans by providing inexpensive, sustainable research aboard their schooner MARIE THARPE. 59º North has been a supporter of ORP since it’s nascent days and continues to help Matt & Nicole reach their goals. 100% of these donations go directly to Matt & Nicole’s ORP, and in 2023, we raised over $6,000 for Ocean Research Project. Let’s beat that in 2024!

SUPPORT ORP’S MISSION.

All life requires a healthy Ocean to survive. The Ocean Research Project (ORP) is committed to scientific exploration under sail, blending modern technology with timeless seafaring efficiency to:

  • Discover Ocean Mysteries: Uncovering the unknown wonders of the Ocean.

  • Observe Humanity's Influence: Monitoring how human activities impact the Ocean's health.

  • Inspire Change: Creating a legacy of champions engaged in ocean research undersail and sharing our findings to increase public awareness.

By designing cost-effective sailing expeditions, ORP provides a powerful alternative to traditional, expensive research methods. Our close collaboration with scientists ensures that our research focuses on the most critical environmental issues.
