Reclaim The Sea is a non-profit that provides tools to enable people to reclaim the sea as a safe space when it has previously been one of trauma. We do this through three approaches; Reclaim, Explain and Campaign. Reclaim: On a basic level, we hope to teach people to swim and surf, increasing their quality of life and allowing them to access the full benefits of living in a coastal region. By teaching these skills, we hope to enable people to transform the sea from a space of trauma to a space of freedom, healing, and fun. This transformation has the potential to allow people to access the therapeutic benefits of the sea. Unlike many forms of therapy, sea-based therapy is a therapeutic intervention which can be accessed sustainably by participants once they have learnt the basics. Learning a new skill - whether it's surfing or cooking - can instil a new sense of self-confidence and self-belief in people. This can have a huge impact on other areas of a person's life. Our programmes enables participants to become involved in local communities of swimmers, surfers, paddle boarders and other water users. We believe in the power of community, and hope that many beautiful friendships can grow from our programmes. This year, we not only successfully ran the women's programme for a second year, we also had a successful programme for men. Explain: We have built a hub of stories, articles, poetry, and art on the theme of safe seas, freedom of movement, and border politics. We want to explain and understand why the sea has become militarised; why borders in the sea are senseless; and how the sea could become a safe place for all. Artwork produced by our participants and volunteers are now being exhibited in the Plymouth museum, The Box along with a snippet of our documentary filming. A piece created by one of our volunteers, Jasmine Hortop, was shortlisted to the top 10 (from 5,500 pieces submitted) for the World Illustration Awards 2024. In September we ran an exhibition to raise awareness of both our C.I.C. and awareness about rights violations at European borders. We displayed the artwork and at the end of the week auctioned the pieces to raise funds for our activities. In October, one of our directors, Rebecca, attended the Blue Earth Summit in London. At the conference, we showed the trailer of our film at the Wavelength Film Night and afterwards Rebecca did a question and answer with the audience of approximately 300. Two of our directors, Tegan and Rebecca, attended and spoke at the International Surf Therapy Organization (ISTO) in Puerto Rico. It was at this event that Rebecca was presented with the runner up Aloha Award Trophy. This award recognised the impact and work that Rebecca has done with Reclaim Campaign: We have continued to campaign for safe passage, freedom of movement and the right to refuge. We've created a hub to support and share the work of campaigns or organisations who work to promote safe passage, no deaths at sea and fair, welcoming asylum policies. Towards the end of our first financial year (31 May 2023) the proposal to house asylum-seekers arriving to the UK on the barge ‘Bibby Stockholm’ was announced. We campaigned against this, as it is without question an inappropriate solution - morally, ethically, and logistically - to house people here upon arrival, whilst they await a decision about their asylum. We called this a floating prison and forcefully campaigned against it, with a protest outside the Home Office and protests in Falmouth, where the barge was being built. We also had an open letter to Suella Braverman which was signed by over 90 organisations and over 700 individuals. We prepared a template letter for people to send to their MP’s to share our united view that this barge was unethical. Unfortunately, the government went ahead with this inhumane housing and subsequently one asylum seeker lost their life. The Government then continuously fought for the Rwanda Deportation bill, which was deemed unlawful by the UK supreme Court and ‘not compatible’ with international laws by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. We continuously used our social media platform to fight back by sharing information about the proposed bill. Shortly after our financial year end, Labour won the General Election and reported that the Rwanda Deportation Bill was to be scrapped and Bibby Stockholm will be shut down in January 2025. We have also been using our social media platforms to campaign against international issues such as; the genocide against palestinians in Gaza; the unfair detention and trial for the survivours of The Pylos shipwreck and for justice for the 650 people who were killed by Greek and EU Border Policies.
