At Burke Marine, the ocean isn’t just a backdrop, it’s our way of life. From sailing adventures to weekend regattas, everything we do starts with the sea. That’s why World Environment Day holds a special place in our hearts. It's a global reminder that the natural world, especially our precious waterways, needs our respect, care, and protection.
WHAT IS IT?
Established by the United Nations, World Environment Day (June 5th) is the largest global platform for environmental outreach. Each year, millions come together to take action, whether by planting trees, cleaning up coastlines, or advocating for sustainable change. In 2025, the theme is "Our Land. Our Future." — a call to restore ecosystems and protect the natural foundations that support us all.
WHY IT MATTERS TO US:
As a brand built by and for mariners, we’re deeply connected to Australia’s waterways, coastlines, and marine life. Every product we design — from our Spray Jackets to our offshore gear — is tested by nature and made to withstand its power. But with that connection comes responsibility.
Plastic pollution, rising sea levels, and habitat loss are not distant issues, they’re visible in every tide line and harbor. We believe it’s time for the marine community to be at the forefront of environmental action.
HOW WE'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE:
At Burke Marine, we’re committed to:
- Reducing Waste: We continue to explore more sustainable packaging and durable gear that lasts season after season.
- Supporting Clean Oceans: We actively partner with local initiatives and encourage our team and customers to participate in beach and marina cleanups.
- Sustainable Design: We're investing in longer-lasting, responsibly sourced materials — gear that performs without compromise to the planet.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
No matter where you sail or how you explore the outdoors, you can make a positive impact:
- Leave No Trace: Always clean up after your adventure — especially on the water.
- Choose Reusable: Say no to single-use plastics on board.
- Support Sustainable Brands: Your purchasing power can help drive change in the industry.
- Get Involved: Join a local cleanup or environmental campaign. Every effort counts.
This World Environment Day, let’s commit to protecting the very environments that give us freedom, purpose, and adventure.
After all, when we take care of the planet, it takes care of us.
