Sustainable Development

In the year 2000 the Lighthouse Foundation was established as a charitable foundation in German civil law, domiciled in Hamburg (Az.: PA 4/922.31-64(1870); Senatskanzlei der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg, 1.Sept. 2000). The Foundation’s purpose is to promote science and research, teaching, culture, and the principles of environmentalism and international development in relation to the world’s seas and oceans. The Light­house Found­a­tion sup­ports in­teg­rated and long-term ap­proaches in the re­la­tion­ship between hu­mans and the mar­ine en­vir­on­ment within the con­text of sus­tain­able de­vel­op­ment.
