Fish Free Week!

Our Fish free week was the second of a hopefully long line of projects in which we try to engage with the public and motivate people to take action on a small scale and make an impact on environmental issues.
And even though not eating fish for one week sounds like a small and easy thing to do, if enough people join this cause it does make a big difference! The Fish Free Week is not over yet, but already we have a few successes to post here:
  • 4 Restaurants in Austria took fish off the menu for the week
  • The same Restaurants agreed to take Tuna off the menu permanently
  • A major Hotel in Carinthia removed their Fish buffet (Marine fish) from the weekly menu and replaced it with local fresh water fish from sustainable Aquaculture

It is small steps in the right direction. And just because the Fish Free Week is over doesn’t mean we have to stop trying to make a difference. If you have the connections try and make a difference. Take Tuna off a menu, protect endangered species and try to lower your consumption. And most importantly: Be aware of the consequences of your actions!
Thank you to everyone who joined us in this cause! And please share your experiences, successes and other impressions with us!

Sailing Turkey to Greece in 50 knot storm - INDEPENDENCE AT SEA Video Log 2

This time in our upgrade we get CAUGHT IN A STORM... But on the plus side, we gained a lot more trust and faith in our Independence feeling even more secure that she is a strong and solid boat more than capable of taking out a team of researchers for all the Objectives you might come up with! So make sure to let us know if YOU are working on a project that could potentially need a boat to be run on a reasonable budget!

Moving on to new shores

This time around we created not just one but TWO different videos to tell you the story of the latest developments. What we would need from YOU to do is to tell us which version you like better so we can work in the right direction in the episodes to come!

A Research Boat for YOU!

With 2 weeks down in Turkey it is almost the time to make the hop across the border for finalising our paperwork. This week we are calling out to all the researchers, NGOs, Universities, Enthusiasts who have an idea of what the very best use for our Independence could be.... stay tuned or get in touch! If YOU have a Project in mind, that could be conducted from aboard our boat (we can accomodate 4 people extra in comfort aboard) please get in touch with us via E-Mail, a comment on the video or via our facebook page!
