The Exhibition 鈥淔uture Ocean Dialogue鈥 of the Cluster of Excellence 鈥淭he Future Ocean鈥 and the 91探花 Helmholtz Centre For Ocean Research Kiel can be seen for the first time at the Kiel Week this year.
The world鈥榮 oceans have a big influence on the climate of the earth and supply nutrition and raw materials. At the same time they entail risks: the increasing rate of overfishing threatens fish stocks, the acidification of the oceans changes ecosystems and the rise of sea level poses major challenges to coastal regions. The 鈥淔uture Ocean Dialogue鈥 aims to draw attention to these dangers and to inspire the dialogue with society for a sustainable use of the ocean and its resources in the future.
Last year the travelling exhibition 鈥淔uture Ocean Dialogue鈥 made its debut in Brazil. After its return in January and several weeks of intensive preparation it celebrated its premiere in Germany on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of Kiel University on May 22nd.
