What we do
We give the ocean a voice because it is irreplaceable for our survival and well-being and it has no other lobby. The ocean is our passion and we love to make the connections between the ocean and us humans visible and tangible. We bring science, business, politics and society together in schools, at events, through exhibitions, conferences and workshops - a list of our current projects can be found here.
-
Maritime policy
We need a sustainable marine policy for the well-being of society. We are committed to the development of a sustainable marine policy based on independent scientific findings to steer the protection and viability of our ocean in Germany, Europe and beyond.
-
Education
We are committed to improving marine education in Germany and Europe because we still know far too little about the ocean. We can achieve ocean literacy by inspiring and educating both current and future generations.
-
Research
In domestic and international coastal waters and estuaries, the research and media ship ALDEBARAN offers a low-carbon, flexible and attractive platform where ocean science and communications can meet - a perfect place for young marine researchers to realize their own ideas.
-
Communication
With decades of experience, we know how to bring the ocean to civil society and into the classroom through the media, events, exhibitions, trade fairs and festivals. With our Ocean Science Exhibition in Hamburg, the German Ocean Festival in Berlin, a series of online ocean conferences and our "love your ocean" area at boot Düsseldorf, we reach thousands of people every year.
