Empowering Pacific Island people to implement traditionally based sustainable sea transportation to ensure independence, cultural revival and ocean stewardship. Throughout the Pacific, traditionally designed modernized fossil fuel-free sailing canoes or ‘vakas' (also known as va'a, waka, walap, waa') built by Okeanos Foundation for the Sea are fulfilling a variety of regional needs for transportation between the islands.For the last ten years , the dedicated work of Okeanos has fostered a renaissance in traditional Pacific boat construction, open ocean sailing and navigational training that has inspired innovative, culturally based local solutions while supporting sustainable development and energy independence.Okeanos is dedicated to supporting Pacific countries to implement a pan-Pacific vaka network providing safe, regular and reliable service to remote communities. Okeanos vakas are certified for open ocean safety for transport of passengers, cargo, local crops, educational supplies as well as disaster relief while also serving as platforms for vocational sailing training, culturally based education programs and ocean science research.Okeanos' ethos is to support Pacific Islands' traditional knowledge as solution, adaptation and mitigation to climate change.Okeanos also strives for social change through advocacy, promoting ocean and environmental awareness through professional storytelling including feature documentaries Racing Extinction and The Starchasers.
