PICK TRASH, PLANT TREES, GO PADDLE
In March of 2023, Starboard created a contest in which participants entered by logging in to the Blue Tiki website. Throughout the next months until October 1 participants created a community of #FutureFighters engaging in “Blue life” choices and activities.

While the first prize was a “Zen Adventure of a Lifetime,” an all inclusive 5 nights at the exquisite Cora Cora Maldives resort, every single participant (along with their local waters and beaches) won! By logging in to Blue Tiki, joining the communities, accepting Missions and completing Activities we all connected for BIG changes while earning the Blue Tiki digital social currency.

From spring, through summer and into the fall there was no end to the fun of completing ACTIONS and MISSIONS

It was fascinating to “meet” fellow participants via their Instagram posts. Motivation to get out on the water and to make a habit of collecting rubbish along the way created many personal journeys towards a sustainable future. We all made a positive impact on the planet. By showcasing our passion for sustainability, we all made a difference while inspiring others. And the fun is not over – you can start TODAY.

Personally, I was inspired to revise my “blue life” journal for kids called The Quest for Blue Planet Super Heroes. Just as earning “Blue Tiki” currency motivated me and my choices, it’s a known fact that journal writing can also embed a person with desired habits – and the 28 day journal is designed to help young people do just that.

But that’s not all! Contained in the journal is a 10-chapter adventure led by kids that is designs a community-wide scavenger hunt and “blue life” awareness wrapped in action and fun. The Hunt to Save the Ocean provides young readers and their families or teachers with a roadmap toward making an astounding difference.
