Clancy is the winner of Interreg North Sea‘s third North Sea Photo Contest in Category 2: North Sea Places!
As many as 17 projects submitted a total of 135 photos showcasing special moments and the multifarious topics that their projects address.
On behalf of the consortium, Communications lead Björn Suckow, Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI), received the award at the North Sea Conference plenary session on 25 June 2025.
The image shows a little known place in the North Sea Region - a fish ladder next to the Weser weir, built to help fish migrate. Since the crabs are using the ladder too, this is a good place to catch them.
Thanks to AWI photographer Esther Hovarth – who took the winning shot!
