Jesse Martin solo yachtsman sails into the Coral Sea campaign
eNewsletter 11 November 2010
Jesse Martin supports the Coral Sea
We're thrilled to announce that world-renowned sailor Jesse Martin has become a Protect our Coral Sea Ambassador. Jesse sailed into the record books in October 1999 when he became the youngest person in history to circumnavigate the globe solo, nonstop and unassisted in his 34-foot yacht Lionheart. Jesse earned the respect of supporters world-wide for his courage and determination. During this historical journey, Jesse got to experience firsthand the plight of the world's oceans.
"Australia is in a better position than most countries to absorb economic hurdles and the initial cost of protecting the Coral Sea will most definitely become the best investment for generations to come. Get involved and feel proud that we are free enough to do this." Jesse Martin. Go Jesse!
