They launched the Hobie kayaks October 1st in Santa Barbara and have been sailing their way south the last few weeks engaging with ocean-minded people along the California coast. The TransparentSea mission has been to raise awareness for the conservation and protection of cetaceans (whales & dolphins) and to highlight particular environmental issues that we face in Southern California.

About TransparentSea
TransparentSea is an awareness campaign aimed at highlighting coastal environmental issues, with particular attention given to cetaceans (whales and dolphins) and the waters they inhabit.
The first journey (Byron Bay to Bondi, Australia, 2009) successfully highlighted the plight of humpback whales and the threat faced by Japanese whaling fleets.
The second (California, October, 2011) traces the southern migration of Blue and Grey whales from Santa Barbara to Baja, Mexico with an emphasis on engaging key coastal community groups and drawing awareness to the causes they support.
