Impressive encounters June 10 2026 with the North Sea! On tallship Morgenster we sailed the North Seas waves under a radiant sun. Not an easy meeting for everyone, some of us discovered what seasickness feels like ;)
With marine biologists, artists, donors, nature organizations and documentary makers, we sailed from Den Helder, passed sandbanks full of seals, greeted a gannet, and .. did we spot the fins of a porpoise ..?
Knowledge, stories, emotions and perspectives were shared on board. Water and soil samples were taken, observations and experiences were recorded with hydrophones, (underwater) drones, pencil, pen, paint, camera and video.
Very grateful to share this day with such an amazing group! With all the ideas, enthusiasm and support we received, we will continue to realize the 21-day sailing expedition in 2027 to the Dogger Bank to ask attention for a healthy and resilient breeding ground of the North Sea.
