Themes: Sustainability and Oceans
Our theme is the sea and the human being. And the further we progress, the more clearly we are coming to recognize the extent of human influence on natural processes in the seas and oceans. Finding new answers on the global ecological crisis is at the heart of the foundation.
Sustainable development demands long-term, holistic-oriented action and is not to be reduced to the sustainable use of maritime resources. The important thing is to make it clear that the natural world in its biological and physical phenomenology is of value per se and cannot be reduced to the isolated aspect of satisfaction of human needs.
Projects: Think global - Act local
The Lighthouse Foundation supports integrated and long-term approaches in the relationship between humans and the marine environment within the context of sustainable development.
All our projects have something to do with the seas and oceans: they are solution-oriented projects on the ground, an example of the feasibility of sustainable development. They show the linkage between humans and the sea, they also sensitize people in other regions and make a recognizable contribution to maritime awareness.
Foundation for the Seas and Ocean
Earth's oceans are what give our planet its identity - the blue planet, the watery globe. They are the cradle of life, the region with the highest level of biodiversity we know, an irreplaceable source of food, a source and a storage chamber in world-scale chemical and energy cycles, the engine of earth's climate.
