seabreak

seabreak

For decades, we have overexploited marine resources, used destructive bottom trawling, and polluted the seas in Denmark. The result is an ocean in crisis. We want to change that.

seabreak primarily supports nature restoration, communication, and research in Denmark's marine environment. The goal is better conditions and greater knowledge about the sea and its organisms.

Lumpfish

The lumpfish has been overlooked, and knowledge is crucial if we are to protect and preserve it. With support from Seabreak, DTU Aqua is launching a pioneering project to map the biology of the lumpfish and investigate how environmental changes affect its living conditions. The project begins in January 2026 and will run for a four-year period. Read more at the link:
