Greenpeace volunteers urge water sport fans to make an active donation to the protection of the Oceans with a worldwide Group Action Day on International Oceans Day. The Greenpeace Chemnitz group invites watersports-persons to symbolically donate the distance they cover in a pedal boat on the Chemnitz Lake to the world's oceans. In turn parttakers receive an armband for their donation. The group also informs passersby with an information stand and a petition about ocean protection.
The event is a part of a larger campaign which demands that 30 percent of the oceans are under protection by 2030.
