In a Nutshell
Since the Ikkatsu Project came together in 2012, every year has been a little different. While we continue to build programs around single-use plastic and the effects that plastic has in the marine environment, there are other focus areas throughout the Salish Sea watershed that catch a significant portion of our efforts. This bioregional emphasis forms the basis for continuing programs, and you can expect our work to highlight the connections among the different ecosystems here in the heart of Cascadia. The Ikkatsu Project has been largely funded by donations, at least for the past ten years or so. At this point, however, funding efforts have been suspended until a determination has been made about the emphasis and programs that are going to be generated going forward. Please take this opportunity to look around at some of the other worthy nonprofits out there doing good work in the world and consider making a donation to ensure that their work continues. Fundraising can be a difficult and soul-sapping job and anything you can contribute will be met with gratitude, wherever you choose to send it.D E C I S I O N
Very proud of this award-winning short film that details the work that is done by Ikkatsu Project volunteers to clean remote beaches in southeast Alaska. Accepted into a half-dozen film festivals (and counting), it's here and free to view online, thanks to the generosity of Werner Paddles, a valued Ikkatsu sponsor and manufacturer of the best paddles on the planet. Edited by Beau Gaughran and featuring amazing wildlife, dedicated volunteers and one of North America's most captivating lighthouses, this film will make you want to get up and get busy.
