DEFINING OUR LANDSCAPE THROUGH DATA
To create change, we must first intimately understand and define our landscape. Meaningful change must be relevant, monitorable and measurable. Identifying the unique challenges, risks and opportunities through quantitive and qualitative research enables all LEGASEA programs to be data-backed and led dynamic and high impact.

CREATING IMPACT THROUGH COLLABORATION
To create meaningful, long-term change, we must release the collective intelligence of a diverse group of industry stakeholders by cultivating inclusive environments. Programme Partnerships enable empowered organisations and individuals to participate in relevant industry-wide action. We believe we are better together, and by cultivating long-term relationships across all sectors, we will leave a lasting LEGASEA.
“We were thrilled to welcome She of the Sea co-founders Jenny Matthews and Natasha Ambrose to REV Ocean to learn about their experience in the yachting industry and what drove them to start this initiative. It was an opportunity for us to take a critical look at our operations and our ambitions. The open dialogue about the challenges we may face in ensuring diversity in recruitment in the maritime sector, and tips on how we can all contribute to solutions, will help us continue our engagement for and commitment to diversity"
