BALANCE. As a sailor with a strong passion for our oceans I have the firm conviction that the human race and nature must exist in balance. In order to maintain balance, it is important to be aware of possible imbalances.

With the support of the public and the possibilities of technology and diplomacy, people have repeatedly found creative solutions to the most difficult situations they have experienced in history.
