Set Sail with Arved Fuchs for "Ocean Change" 2025: Crossing the Baltic, North Sea, and Atlantic
Sailor Arved Fuchs to Embark on 'Ocean Change' Platform in the Year 2025 - Arved Fuchs is set to take the stage at the 2025 Ocean Change event
Polar explorer and author Arved Fuchs has set sail on an encore voyage, embarking on the 2025 leg of his groundbreaking "Ocean Change" expedition. Aboard his historic vessel, the "Dagmar Aaen," they departed from Flensburg on Sunday, ready to tackle the pressing issues of climate change and marine protection.
"We've dedicated the past ten years to this project," Fuchs exclaimed to the German Press Agency before setting off. "The challenges confronting our oceans are inextricably linked to climate change." He's all about breaking boundaries and collaborating, so various research institutes are along for the ride.
This year's voyage explores the vulnerable ecosystem of the eastern Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and the Atlantic, with stops in Stralsund, Greifswald, Swinoujscie (Poland), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia), Gotland (Sweden), the Kattegat, Skagerrak, Föhr, the English Channel, Brittany, Cornwall, and Flensburg (the destination of choice for a late August homecoming, weather permitting).
"With the 'Dagmar Aaen,' we can collect valuable data where research vessels are scarce," Fuchs emphasized. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the crew is gathering real-time data to share with the scientific community, filling in the blanks on the map.
The "Ocean Change" project was established by Fuchs in 2015 and focuses on the transformation of marine ecosystems and their effects on the climate and coastal landscapes.
