Yacht owning members of OceansWatch benefit by being hosts to other volunteers and projects. A documentary covering the "2008 Pacific Trip" by Animotion coined the phrase "Cruising With a Cause".〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48w9vnlGxLY〕 Members garner a sense of fulfillment while visiting rural communities that may otherwise be socially inaccessible. OceansWatch and its members carry out expedition projects in the Pacific and the Atlantic that focus on environmental and humanitarian issues in rural coastal communities. OceansWatch focuses on promoting sustainable livelihood & education as opposed to offering philanthropic aid in the form of financial contributions. Communities are encouraged and empowered to learn about the resources available to them and to use and care for those resources in a sustainable fashion. The three distinct areas of focus: education, humanitarianism, and environmental, are interdependent: Providing education on how to protect an environmental resource will improve the quality of life for a rural community.
