An interview with Gerhard Wegner

Taucher.Net: Gerhard, you are well known among shark conservationists and have received mountains of awards for your life's work. What made you want to honor other marine conservationists?

Gerhard: Exactly that. I always look at the trophies, certificates and medals from my desk and know that there are many other people behind the achievements for which I have been honored. Highly dedicated fellow campaigners in the second row who do everything they can for marine conservation but probably never receive an award themselves. Unfortunately, that is the law of the media. With the "GOLDENER DREIZACK" (editorial note: GOLDEN (AQUARIUS) TRIDENT) we want to honor extraordinary achievements for marine conservation. In our opinion, this also includes an extraordinary life's work.

Taucher.Net: As we know, this year's award winners include some high-caliber figures in marine conservation such as Robert Marc Lehmann, Kurt Amsler or the successful shark conservation duo from Austria, Gabrielle and Herbert Futterknecht. How do they fit into the picture?

Gerhard: What they have in common is an extraordinary, inspiring personal achievement. Whether in or behind the spotlight. This year's award winners have more than earned it.

Taucher.Net: We are excited. When will it be?

Gerhard: On Saturday, 28.9.24 on the show stage at InterDive in Friedrichshafen, Saturday shortly before 12.00 noon.


The non-profit and voluntary association OCEAN HEROES will be presenting special charity products for marine conservation at the trade fair alongside exemplary projects. These will include a Sterntaler (editorial note: "Starmoney" from the fairy tale) campaign, where everyone can only win

Why not drop by? A visit to the fair is worthwhile in more ways than one.
