MISS OCEAN NAVIGATION PAGE
LIFE ON THE WATER - Miss Ocean is an awareness campaign and an award for the people or politicians who the Foundation considers made the greatest contribution to cleaning up and conserving the marine environment in any one year. This also includes efforts to combat climate change. We were looking forward to commitment on all fronts at COP 26 to be held in Glasgow in November 2021. COP 25 was a wash-out in climate terms, more turning up the heat. What might happen at COP29 in Azerbaijan?
Meantime, we are continuing with our Awareness campaigns and lobbying.
OCEAN CLEANING INNOVATION - This amazing autonomous boat called "SeaVax", was on display at the Old Billingsgate exhibition centre in London on the 9-10th of November 2015 for Innovate 2015. The stand was especially made for this show with a direction from the organizers that the base should be finished in white. It is possible to tilt the robot vessel so that it is horizontal or vertical. The stand is motorised to revolve at about one revolution every 35 seconds.
ROAD SHOW - Although not ready for this year's outing, it is planned to make the stand interactive with audiences as part of a rig intended for road show. We may fit driven wheels in place of the adjustable feet such that the robotic boat and stand combined can give interesting displays, demonstrating the versatility of robotics. The "SeaVax" boat is designed to vacuum plastic waste from the polluted oceans of the world. Not at this scale. This proof of concept model is only 2.2 metres long. The full size vessel is 44 metres long with a suction head some 13.5 metres wide - making it the world's largest vacuum cleaner and a potential Guinness world record holder. Miss Ocean is very proud to be associated with such an ocean friendly project.
RECYCLED - The stand was made from 100% recycled steel on a shoe-string budget. The re-engineered machinery is salvaged from everyday conveniences, such as cars and washing machines. Despite the elegant appearance, the stand has an exceptionally low centre of gravity that makes the exhibit rock steady. Chris Close, the project manager, is seen here with the vessel giving you some idea of scale. The stand is nicknamed Nelson's Column and has a base (not shown here) complete with hand carved lions (as per Sir Edwin Landseer) by way of a miniature Trafalgar Square. A tribute to one of the most famous British Admirals: Horatio Nelson.

OBJECTIVES - Miss Ocean is not a pageant as you may imagine, it is an ocean awareness drive, where the achievement of any person making a significant contribution to climate change or pollution research or other activities aimed at resolving these issues, is recognised by us..
INNOVATION - This amazing autonomous boat was on display at the Old Billingsgate exhibition centre in London on the 9-10th of November 2015. The stand was especially made for this show. As you can see it is possible to tilt the robot vessel so that it is almost vertical. The stand is motorised to revolve at about one revolution in half a minute. Although not ready for this year's outing, it is planned to make the stand interactive with audiences and to fit driven wheels such that the robotic boat and stand combined can give interesting displays, demonstrating the versatility of robotics. The boat is designed to vacuum plastic waste from the polluted oceans of the world. Not at this scale. This proof of concept model is only 2.2 metres long. The full size vessel is 44 metres long with a suction head some 13.5 metres wide (44 feet) - making it the world's largest vacuum cleaner.
PICTURED ABOVE - [LEFT] Christina is helping to organise and develop the Miss Ocean event. Here she is seen beside the propeller of one of the fishing boats on Hastings beach that she relies on to feed her two children. Christina knows that the fish these boats will catch will become more and more toxic as plastic in the ocean increases, potentially harming her family and her children's children in years to come. She is concerned just as much for your family.

PICTURED BELOW - "Lucky Lucy" is one of the beach launched fishing fleet at Hastings in East Sussex, England. She was a hard working semi-swath catamaran, that is not used much these days with fish stocks declining. If we don't take immediate action to stop plastics and other waste poisoning our oceans, poor old 'Lucy' won't go to sea anymore. Did you know that Hastings has the largest beach launched fishing fleet in the world? Hastings is famous for its fish and chip shops and the listed fishing net buildings that are also seen higher up the beach. In essence, the whole community was founded on produce from the sea - now a town with a bleak future, apart from tourism.
