Offshore racing Team Malizia join The Ocean and Us to protect the High Seas
The Hague / Hamburg. Super happy to announce our partnership with professional offshore sailing Team Malizia and their wonderful helmsman Boris Hermann, a perfect collaboration embodying their mission entitled "A Race We Must Win - Climate Action Now!"
This partnership aims to build collective resistance to deep-sea mining, before the International Seabed Authority meets in July 2025 to decide whether to open the High Seas to mining.
“We have lost over two thirds of global wildlife and each one of us is feeling the impacts of the climate crisis. We cannot afford to embark on a new form of ecocide. The good news is this is an industry that has not yet started and for which global resistance is growing. I am therefore thrilled to partner with Team Malizia to bring hope and importantly empowerment to all and stop this next disaster from starting. Together with Team Malizia and others across the sports, music and art world, we can ramp up support to stop this reckless industry” - Farah Obaidullah, Founding Director of The Ocean and Us.
“With our sport comes a responsibility to be stewards of the Ocean. We can no longer leave Ocean conservation to scientists and activists alone. We must have all hands on deck to protect the global Ocean and prevent deep-sea mining from starting.” - Boris Herrmann, Skipper of Team Malizia.
