DAN EUROPE
SUSTAINABLE TOUR
2022
Caring for the Ocean starts by taking the right steps on land
ABOUT
Project overview
The Ocean has the capacity to absorb CO2 from the environment. When excess CO2 dissolves in seawater, it causes an acidity increase. This is known as Ocean Acidification.
This phenomenon, coupled with other human factors, is destroyingย marine ecosystems.
The Mission
We must drastically reduce our CO2 emissions if we want to maintain a healthy ocean and a planet fit for our survival.
To raise awareness DAN Europe Ambassadors are travelling across Europe and its surroundingsย in an electric vehicle, recharging it only with renewable energy.
Join us along the way as we meet stakeholders and the whole diving community to boost the change we all need.
DAN Europe Foundation
DAN Europe exists to assist and protect all diversย and conduct scientific research to make diving a safer, more accessible, and sustainable activity for all.
ย
“We recognise the unique beauty and fragility of our Blue Planet, and act as Ambassadors for more sustainable practices within our community”

The Decade will provide a โonce in a lifetimeโ opportunity to create a new foundation, across the science-policy interface, to strengthen the management of our oceans and coasts for the benefit of humanity
