Yachting Monthly’s Brian Black Memorial Award celebrates the best written and video storytelling about marine environmental issues
Two incredible stories have won the Brian Black Memorial Award 2024 in association with Coppercoat and YM. With entries focusing on ‘treading lightly’ in the marine environment, Jon Amtrup wrote about living aboard his yacht in the Arctic, eloquently setting out the case for more sustainable living and highlighting the rate of change in the Arctic.
‘Winning the Brian Black Memorial Award is a big honour and inspires me to sail and write even more from the Arctic,’ writes Jon Amtrup. ‘Right now I am in Tromsø and it’s scary warm here with over 20° in mid-September. It is just yet another example of how fast the climate is changing in the Arctic, and we all have to push the decision makers to do something about it. Not just talk about the challenges, as they have been doing for the last 30 years.’
