The organisation seeks to better the island communities that many cruising sailors visit, in that many of them are suffering the effects of brackish water from rising sea levels and depleting fish supplies from over-fishing by wide ranging commercial fishing ships. Having sailed the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Pacific, they have now teamed up with the volunteer organisation, Oceans Watch, which works at the rock face of the early effects of the population explosion and climate change. They timed their departure when Catherine thought she 'still understood the maths the children were doing', but what they are learning now in the Pacific will stay with the Mia and Lachlan for the rest of their lives. The Jackson Family, Mark, Catherine, Mia, 9 and Lachlan 7 (the 'Jackson Four') from Jersey in the Channel Islands, bought Pegasus, their Nautitech 395 catamaran, in Greece and set sail in June of 2010.
