• Nordic Ocean Watch Denmark’s public positioning by Samuel Canghiari
  A proposal has been submitted to discuss whether Nordic Ocean Watch Denmark should further clarify or adjust its public positioning in relation to engagement in public discourse on environmental and ocean-related issues.

  The proposal suggests exploring whether the organisation should, within the framework of its mission and vision, express positions on selected environmental topics of relevance to its work, while remaining independent of political parties and avoiding formal political affiliations.

  The purpose of the discussion is to clarify the organisation’s approach, scope and boundaries for public engagement, and to consider whether further policy development or a formal mandate from the members is appropriate.

We would like to invite you to a conference in Frederiksberg with a focus on how we can together create clean cities, clean nature and a clean sea in Denmark.

Now "Dråben i Havet" has taken the baton forward, and on October 25th is organizing a conference in Frederiksberg Forsyning's conference hall from 10:00 to 17:00.

The purpose of the day is to meet, get to know each other, inspire each other and get professional input, as well as brainstorm ways to lift up together for Clean City, Clean Nature, Clean Sea.

The conference will be in Danish.

Meet Nordic Ocean Watch team member Giovanna Albani at Climate Sailing in Holbæk 29th of April 2023 at 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 pm

Organised by Ung Holbæk, Lucerna - Uddannelses, kultur og iværksætterhus, and Søfart og Maritime Håndværk, Nationalmuset, Climate Sailing helps to investigate and focus on what we as individual citizens and the municipality can actually do for our local environment, and what significance it can have in the big picture. It is an event about the marine ecosystem and creating awareness about Isefjord marine environmental status! There are going to be different stands and workshops about seaweed and marine ecosystem between those you will find Giovanna! Giovanna is an oceanographer and cleanup coordinator at Nordic Ocean Watch Denmark and she will have a stand and workshop at the event to talk about marine pollution in the environment!

The stand will be an interactive space open to the public, visiting the event. The idea is to invite people and children to connect with organic material such as seaweed from Isefjord and objects collected along the coastline. These elements will be used to weave an actual picture of the coastal-marine ecosystem. Indeed, the public will be invited to create their own pattern and design using the materials available (seaweed, plastic, string, threat). Once completed they can bring it home or continue to work on it.The idea comes to develop a social and personal awareness of our surroundings, especially the marine ecosystem and the impact that we have on it.

The event is free of charge and do not require registration.

Activities at port:
• Clothes swap market with Lucerna
• Tasting of seaweed salad
• Bogstaveligtalt and Holbæk youth climate council combine poetry with biodiversity
• UngHavn communicates about the state of the fjord and creates interactive information
• Hawiila does workshops with crafts and printing on clothes
• Maritim 10. presents their solar boat and talks about sustainable sailing
• Danish Nature Conservation Association, HavHøst, Holbæk's Grønne Lunge, Dansk Tang etc. communicate about the state of the fjord
• It will also be possible to buy food and coffee
