April 22 is Earth Day. A day for celebrating our successes so far in working to protect our planet, and raising awareness of the need to conserve the earth’s natural resources for future generations.

As Earth Day approaches, it serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve our planet. For those who find happiness in the ocean, just like we do at Paddle Logger, Earth Day holds particular significance. We are uniquely positioned to make a positive impact on the health of our oceans and coastlines. From reducing plastic pollution to advocating for marine conservation, there are numerous ways in which ocean lovers can contribute to the sustainability of our blue planet.

As paddlers, we share a close connection with the natural world. Moving through the water is what we love to do, but we also have a responsibility to protect the fragile ecosystems that bring us so much joy. Here are a few ways you can harness your passion for the water to support conservation strategies.
