From August 19 to 21, 2024, Zurich’s Utoquai was home to an unusual sight: a beached sperm whale lay on the lake shore. But whales don’t live in Lake Zurich, they live in the world’s oceans. The stranding was a production by the Belgian artists’ collective Captain Boomer<\/a>. Together with Z\u00fcrcher Theater Spektakel<\/a>, KYMA has brought the whale to Zurich.<\/p>\n We are drawing attention to the fact that marine conservation also affects a landlocked country like Switzerland. The effects of our consumer decisions or our CO2 emissions have a global impact, including on the oceans. Governments and corporations in particular have a responsibility: their actions can massively damage or even destroy the marine habitat. Environmental crimes such as large-scale plastic and oil pollution or overfishing can lead to the death and ultimately the stranding of marine animals such as whales.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”_initial” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#efefef” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”_initial” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kyma-sea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ratgeber-Web-7-2.png” title_text=”Delfin_O\u0308kozid_900x800″ url=”https:\/\/kyma-sea.org\/ratgeber\/” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”_initial” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n You can make an important contribution to combating overfishing in the oceans.
