The aim is to establish a green trading network of fair products. Instead of importing fair trade products via conventional channels, the company brings selected products to Europe on sailing ships. This transport company from Den Helder would like to make fair trade even cleaner and fairer. The actor Sigmar Solbach spoke in the presentation of the Award in the society category to the Dutch company Fairtransport. In the context of its project, the Ocean Foundation has trained over 40 scientists and resource managers in 19 different countries and has supplied GOA-ON kits to 10 separate countries. These laboratory and field kits, also known as “GOA-ON” (The Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network), are able to make high-quality measurements for a tenth of the costs of existing measuring systems. Together with its partners, the organisation based in Washington has developed starter kits for monitoring ocean acidification. Schweikert and legendary windsurfer Robby Naish presented the Award to Alexis Valauri-Orton, the representative of the Ocean Foundation. Through its International Ocean Acidification Initiative, the prizewinner in the science category aims to create a network of scientists, in order to monitor and understand ocean chemistry developments and to report to the Ocean Foundation. Frank Schweikert, Executive Director of the German Ocean Foundation, stressed the international networking capabilities of the Ocean Foundation.
