The Short Version
Richard Bargas is the Director of Marine Operations at My Clean Ocean — a firefighter-paramedic turned maritime leader who brings emergency response, international ocean safety, and yacht-industry experience to the mission.
His three chapters — first responder, maritime educator, and founder of Pacific Icon Yachts — all share the same throughline: building the systems, the training, and the culture that keep people safe on the water and connected to the sea.
