The Baltic Sea needs everyone’s help
The largest boating event in the Nordics, Vene Båt, annually highlights responsibility and the valuable work being done to protect the environment, particularly the seas and inland waters. At next year’s boat show in February, the event’s partner, the John Nurminen Foundation, will showcase its work and goals. The Helsinki International Boat Show, Vene 25 Båt, will take place from February 7th to 16th, 2025, at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre.

the Baltic Sea
The John Nurminen Foundation is one of the most significant foundations in the Baltic Sea region. The foundation carries out concrete work to preserve the Baltic Sea and ensures that the stories of the sea are passed down to future generations. In its marine environmental efforts, the foundation focuses on improving the condition of the Baltic Sea by reducing the burden on the sea and addressing environmental issues such as eutrophication and biodiversity loss.
“The Boat Show is an excellent place to meet people who are interested in the sea and to highlight its significance, as well as the importance of protecting it. The sea is protected from land, but we also have much to share about what lies beneath the surface – how it looks underwater, the stories that shipwrecks on the seabed reveal, or how the sea has changed on maps over the centuries”, says Johanna Suni, Communications Manager at the John Nurminen Foundation.
