Boating navigation app savvy navvy and ProtectedSeas — an ocean conservation-focused technology company from Silicon Valley, California — have collaborated to offer boaters access to a comprehensive overview of ocean regulatory information, including marine protection areas, through the savvy navvy app. The ProtectedSeas Navigator provides boaters with 22,000 marine protected and managed areas in over 220 countries around the world, including speed-limit zones to help protect marine mammals, fisheries management areas among other protections, so boaters can make more environmentally conscious decisions while on the water.
“Working with ProtectedSeas enables us at savvy navvy to bring their valuable research to life and help anyone on the water to make better decisions to protect the environment. We like to do things differently and building on our seagrass data from last year, we will now have a whole layer of information just about sustainability. This partnership is the latest in savvy navvy’s ambition to bring sustainability to the forefront of boaters across the globe, as we continue to make navigation safe and easy for everyone on the water,” says David Cusworth, head of Innovation and Partnerships at savvy navvy.
“ProtectedSeas is excited to see Navigator information in the hands of boaters on the water. Through our partnership with savvy navvy, boaters are more empowered to know and comply with conservation rules on the water which help protect the ecosystems they know and enjoy,” adds Virgil Zetterlind, director of ProtectedSeas.
Boaters can already access some of the ProtectedSeas data in the savvy navvy app, with more to follow soon. To find out more about the sustainable data or to download the app visit savvy-navvy.com/preservation/protectedseas.
