Sets Sail Again: Arved Fuchs Tackles Climate Change and Marine Protection on "Ocean Change" Leg 2025
Sailor Arved Fuchs embarks on the 'Ocean Change' leg in 2025 voyage. - Arved Fuchs prepares to take the spotlight at the 2025 Ocean Change event.
Venture with us as Arved Fuchs embarks on a new adventure, setting sail for the ambitious expedition "Ocean Change" Leg 2025. His trusty vessel, the historic sailing ship "Dagmar Aaen," braved the waters of Flensburg on a brisk Sunday. In an interview with the German Press Agency prior to the departure, Fuchs shared his excitement about the project they've been nurturing for ten years: "The mission is crystal clear – climate change and marine protection are intricately linked."
With a diverse team by his side, this climatologist-turned-polar explorer embarks on a journey that transcends geographical boundaries. Their maiden voyage steers its course through the eastern Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The path zigzags past Stralsund, Greifswald, Swinemünde (Poland), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia), and Gotland (Sweden), meandering through the Kattegat and Skagerrak into the North Sea. The adventures on the horizon include a visit to the idyllic island of Föhr, sailing through the English Channel, exploring Brittany and Cornwall, and diving into the heart of the eastern Atlantic. If all goes well, they'll find their way back to the warm embrace of Flensburg by late August.
Smart technology for advanced measurement and collection
Embarking on this journey, Fuchs noted the "Dagmar Aaen" offers an opportunity to collect data in remote areas where research vessels are scarce. Together with advanced measurement technology, his crew can gather and share data that could help fill crucial knowledge gaps.
The Ocean Change project, founded by Fuchs in 2015, is dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of ocean changes and their repercussions on the climate and coastal landscapes.
