Don’t get cold feet watching this! 🌊 My friend Morgan Maassen (@morganmaassen) just sent me his latest effort and he has captured something fundamental about our connection with the Ocean. “Rán: A Scandinavian Surfing Saga” follows Swedish big-wave charger Freddie Meadows hunting waves from the freezing Baltic Sea, through the North Atlantic, all the way to an Arctic Circle big wave discovery. Snow storms, tiny swell windows, and then one magic morning with snow falling at their feet while they score waves that rival Tahiti and Fiji. They even brought in legends Nic Von Rupp and Andrew Cotton for the mission. As a diver and underwater filmmaker, the raw connection these guys have with the ocean in such brutal conditions is seriously inspiring. Watch the full film at youtube.com/watch?v=-gvwj3SW… Big props to Freddie and Morgan for pushing limits where most people wouldn’t even go.

🇫🇷 is championing EU aquaculture production, especially in shellfish and mussels farming. Together with @CathChabaud @s_yoncourtin a very interesting exchange with the sector in Pirou, Normandy, on a range of challenges: climate change, water quality and invasive predators. The EU can support the sector through EMFAF as well as through the EU Aquaculture Assistance mechanism. A competitive and resilient aquaculture is indispensable for EU’s food security.
