Throwback and Looking Forward with Seilskipet Statsraad Lehmkuhl 🚢🌿 Last year, the Staatsraad Lehmkuhl crew gave us a memorable welcome with their shanties as they arrived in Bergen. This wasn’t just a moment of tradition; it was a strong reminder of why we’re all working towards a greener future. Sharing this video from last year, we celebrate not just the journey but our ongoing commitment to the oceans. Partnering with the One Ocean Expedition showed us the importance of teamwork and the impact we can have. GAC support in 24 countries was crucial for this mission, highlighting the need for global cooperation in protecting our seas 🎶🌍 As we dive into One Ocean Week, let’s use this as a reminder of what we’ve achieved and what’s still ahead. The challenges, especially with COVID-19, were real, but they also showed us how adaptable and resilient we can be. This week is about action, learning, and commitment. The Staatsraad Lehmkuhl’s journey is a great example of how far we can go together. Let’s keep pushing for a sustainable future, inspired by our past efforts but always looking forward🛳💡 Join us in making a difference. Every step counts 🌐💚 One Ocean Havbyen Bergen, The Eco-Lighthouse Foundation, DNV, University of Bergen ♻️

⛳ If you and your family own a golf course, you can do whatever you want with it 👏 But private clubs are subject to their group dynamics ♻️ If they’re environmentally conscious, they pressure the clubs to take responsibility—which isn’t a bad thing.

𝐒𝐃𝐆 17 (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬): Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 Opportunity remains for the golf industry to collaborate on important issues that impact its many associations, facilities and other constituents.

An adventure on the water, such as the Vendée Globe, or in the skies with Solar Impulse or Climate Impulse, may seem quite different, yet both are driven by the same passion: to make the world a better place. Completing a world tour is the ultimate challenge, and there is no greater demonstration of what can be achieved when we aim to do better by doing things differently—with a true spirit of pioneering and exploration. 🌌 Let’s dare to dream, dare to explore, and dare to act for a better planet.

🌊 A Dive Into Innovation and Sustainability in Florida! 🌊 Last month, I attended two standout events in Florida: the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) and Ocean Exchange. The back-to-back scheduling of FLIBS and Ocean Exchange created a seamless opportunity to explore both cutting-edge technology and sustainable innovation in one trip. They say nothing screams “highlight reel” quite like a classic photo montage - so here’s a quick video capturing the energy, innovation, and #BoatingLifestyle from the trip. 🎥 One thing that stood out was the Innovation & Sustainability Awards, which recognized exhibitors advancing sustainable practices in the leisure marine industry. A big shout out to Katherine O’Fallon and Phil Purcell for organizing this impactful initiative. For an industry historically associated with high-emission practices, the shift toward sustainability is a promising and uplifting trend. What I found most rewarding about these events were the relationships built - I’m excited to return to Florida and keep working together to shape a brighter future for our oceans. #LevelHydrofoils #Sustainability #MarineInnovation #OceanExchange #FLIBS
