Grants

The Lighthouse Foundation (LF) promotes science and research, teaching, culture, and the principles of environmentalism and international development in relation to the world’s seas and oceans. In ac­cord­ance with the ori­ent­a­tion of the LF, pro­jects and meas­ures must have a mari­time theme and be suit­able as mod­els for fol­low-up pro­jects and meas­ures in other re­gions of the world. They must be of such a nature as to make people in other re­gions re­cept­ive to the theme and make a con­crete con­tri­bu­tion to an en­hanced aware­ness of the mari­time world.
