On Sunday, 17 May 2009, the International Day of the Baltic Harbour Porpoise will be celebrated around the shores of the Baltic Sea for the 7th time.
The Secretariat has received notification of events planned in Finland (Särkänniemi Dolphinarium), Germany (Ozeaneum Stralsund and Gesellschaft zum Schutz der Meeressäugetiere), Lithuania (Lithuanian Sea Museum), Poland (Hel Marine Station) and Sweden (Havets Hus in Lysekil). All these institutions have received information material from the Secretariat for their events, such as leaflets, posters and postcards. Further, two sets of the newly developed ASCOBANS exhibition in English have been shipped to Lithuania and Sweden for their events.
Information about IDBHP events of the past is contained in the Handbook, which can be downloaded here.
All participating institutions are encouraged to report back to the Secretariat about their events. We will put a short report on the activities on this website and include the information and photos in the next update of the Handbook.
