WE ARE

IN THE

BOAT

In The Same Boat is a Norwegian environmental NGO dedicated to fighting marine plastic pollution through sailboat-based cleanup expeditions

Read more about how it all started here.

Working along remote Arctic and Northern European coastlines, we combine practical action with research, documentation, and storytelling to protect marine environments and inspire systemic change.

Du rydder - vi henter

Som vanlig kjører vi inn plast som er ryddet i frivillige ryddeaksjoner i hele Nord-Norge.

Alt du trenger å gjøre er å sette søpla godt sikret over flomålet, så kommer vi forbi og tar den med oss og sikrer forskriftsmessig innlevering.

Tjenesten er finansiert av Miljødirektoratet og Handelens Miljøfond.

PLASTIC FREE SEAFOOD

We are collaborating closely with the seafood industry to reduce ongoing pollution, to clean up what’s already lost, and with a first response service to make immediate action possible when needed.

CLEANING THE ARCTIC

The Arctic region is among the most vulnerable marine environments and a major accumulation zone for marine litter. That is why we work directly in the Arctic through sailboat-based shoreline cleanups to document and remove plastic pollution and help protect these fragile ecosystems.
