NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, June 8, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It was announced today, in recognition of World Oceans Day, that Genius 100 Foundation will embark on G100 Blue Ocean, a multi-year campaign to raise awareness and funds for a critically important Environmental cause, Ocean Preservation.

The first initiative of the G100 Blue Ocean campaign will support the Trans-Pacific Wing Project - helmed by G100 Visionary, Speaker, Author, Waterman and Conservationist, Chris Bertish. Chris is the founder of Chris Bertish I’mPossible and the Chris Bertish Foundation. He is a Mavericks Big Wave Champion, World Record Holder in multiple Stand-Up Paddle Boarding achievements, and was the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a Stand-Up Paddle Board in 2017.

“We are in the most important race of our lifetime, a race against time. If we don’t act now, the disastrous effect of climate change could be irreversible by 2030,” states Chris Bertish.

The Trans-Pacific Wing Project casts off today (June 8) with Bertish beginning his journey to traverse 2,750 miles of the Pacific Ocean, starting on the West Coast of California, Half Moon Bay, across the Pacific to Oahu, Hawaii. He will be the first person to wing-foil across any ocean in the world, solo and unsupported.

The journey will take an estimated 50-60 days and is expected to finish in Oahu, Hawaii. Bertish expects to wing and paddle a minimum of 8-12 hours per day, covering between 40- 60miles/over 60- 90km per day. He will be tracked by a GPS daily during the entire crossing, which the public will be able to follow daily across all the media platforms via satellite web tracking and weekly “Captain’s Vlogs" on social media.

The G100 Blue Ocean campaign will provide additional communications and fundraising support for the Trans-Pacific Wing Project through Genius 100 Foundation's active, engaged, global community, of which Bertish is an esteemed Genius 100 Visionary. Funds will support awareness of and initiatives for global ocean conservation, education, and sustainability.
