Setting Sail for "Ocean Change" 2025: Polar Explorer Arved Fuchs Navigates Climate and Marine Protection
Sailor Arved Fuchs embarks on the 'Ocean Change' voyage, scheduled for 2025. - Arved Fuchs, a notable figure, is bound for the 2025 Ocean Change platform
Hey there! Let's talk about Arved Fuchs, a renowned polar explorer, and author, embarking on another leg of his ambitious expedition series named "Ocean Change." Recently, he and his crew hoisted the anchor on an historic sailing ship "Dagmar Aaen" from the city of Flensburg. Before setting sail, Fuchs spoke to the German Press Agency, expressing his fervor for this decade-long project, all about climate change and marine protection, commenting, "The two are tightly intertwined."
In 2025, this exciting journey takes them across the Baltic Sea—this sensitive inland sea ecologically—as well as the North Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Their route winds through various intriguing ports like Stralsund, Greifswald, and Swinemünde (Poland), Klaipeda (Lithuania), and Riga (Latvia). They plan to sail past Gotland (Sweden) and then voyage through the Kattegat and Skagerrak into the North Sea, with a stop on Föhr along the way. Continuing through the English Channel, they'll reach Brittany and Cornwall before diving into the eastern Atlantic. The goal is to return to the home port of Flensburg by late August, pending weather conditions.
Smart measurement technology aboard Dagmar Aaen
The Dagmar Aaen serves not only as a floating basecamp but also as a vessel for collecting precious data, particularly in secluded areas where research ships are scarce. With smart measurement technology at their fingertips, the crew can gather and publicize data in various regions.
The "Ocean Change" project, co-founded by Fuchs back in 2015, takes a closer look at how oceans change and the consequences for the climate and coastal landscapes.
