Setting Sail with Arved Fuchs: Ocean Change Leg 2025
Ocean voyage "Ocean Change" commences in the year 2025, led by Arved Fuchs. - Arved Fuchs is set to appear on the 2025 Ocean Change platform.
Hey there! Let's dive into a fascinating adventure as polar explorer and author Arved Fuchs embarks on another leg of his expedition series "Ocean Change". On a blustery Sunday, he and his courageous crew hoisted the sails of their historic ship "Dagmar Aaen" from the picturesque port of Flensburg. "We've been working on this project for a bloody decade," Fuchs exclaimed to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur prior to setting sail. The primary focus? The brutal battle against climate change and the protection of the seas. "They're more interlinked than a bowl of spaghetti," he quipped, championing interdisciplinary cooperation with various institutions.
This year's voyage promises to be an electrifying odyssey, taking them across the treacherous waters of the eastern Baltic Sea, an ecologically sensitive inland sea, and the leviathan-like North Sea before splashing into the vast expanse of the eastern Atlantic[1]. Boasting a route as diverse as a box of chocolates, they'll make pit stops in Stralsund, Greifswald, and Swinoujscie (Poland), then set sail for Klaipeda (Lithuania) and Riga (Latvia). Along the way, they'll skirt past Gotland (Sweden), journey across the Kattegat and Skagerrak into the North Sea, and make a planned visit to Föhr before forging through the English Channel towards Brittany and Cornwall, finally sailing into the eastern Atlantic. Weather permitting, they plan to return to the welcoming arms of Flensburg in late August[2].
With the "Dagmar Aaen", data collection can take place even in the far-flung regions where research vessels seldom tread. "There aren't many of these bad boys, so we're stepping up to the plate," Fuchs revealed. Armed with cutting-edge measurement technology, the crew can collect and share data, aiding ongoing scientific research[1].
Established by Fuchs back in 2015, the "Ocean Change" project plunges headfirst into the exploration of the ever-changing seas and their devastating impact on the climate and coastal landscapes.
