That was the Ocean Live Park in Kiel
Sun, sailing, marine conservation – and countless happy faces

From 5 to 10 August, there was more than just a typical Ocean Live Park at The Ocean Race Europe in Kiel: it was a festival of high spirits in the most beautiful sunshine! Sailors, exhibitors, 250 volunteers and 250,000 visitors – everyone was united by a great sense of relaxation. Here are a few impressions from the Kiellinie and behind the scenes!

Interview with Kiel's Lord Mayor Ulf Kämpfer
“Visit us in Kiel and let’s think together about what we can do to protect the oceans.“

Kurz vor dem Start des The Ocean Race Europe in Kiel sprachen wir mit dem Oberbürgermeister Dr. Ulf Kämpfer über Teamspirit an Bord und Sichtbarkeit in der Welt, Shackletons Führungskunst und Manövrieren in politischen Gewässern, Segeln und Meeresschutz – und warum zu viel Breitbeinigkeit bei einer Olympiabewerbung schwierig sein kann.

ACO: Interview with Moritz Gesterding
“We are protecting our drinking water resources for tomorrow.”

We spoke with Moritz Gesterding, Head of Research & Development at ACO Beton GmbH, about microplastics in water. Moritz is the perfect conversation partner for the interviewer, who wasn't exactly the brightest bulb in the box when it came to physics. Moritz's recipe: He goes from tire abrasion on the road to cooking pasta in the kitchen, from there to density differences, sedimentation, flotation, and filtration – to arrive at his favorite paragraph of the Water Resources Act and make the leap to cycling.
