Join the German Ocean Foundation at the Love Your Ocean initiative at boot Düsseldorf

The development of an ocean literate society is a pillar of the German Ocean Foundation's work - and our 800 square metre Love Your Ocean space at the world's largest water sports fair, boot Düsseldorf, is an annual highlight for us, showcasing ocean challenges, innovations and sustainable solutions for the near 200,000 international guests to the fair.

Love Your Ocean brings together NGOs, scientists, business and civil society initiatives working for the ocean, growing visitors’ awareness of the status of the ocean and the important work so many are doing to help restore it. We are proud to have curated this space since 2017 and are very much looking forward to the 2026 event. Over nine action-packed days we will promote a clear message of ocean sustainability, protection and preservation and we would be very happy if you joined us for a packed programme of hands-on activities, experiments, virtual reality, films, workshops, school visits and presentations.
