Aquaria Museum, Djurgarden, Sweden

The IDBHP was celebrated in the Aquaria Museum on the Island of Djurgården and attracted over 500 visitors and much interest from the media. The Swedish SAMBAH Team was present for this occasion and was avaialble to talk to the visitors and TV and newspaper journalists. There even was a live interview with the SAMBAH Project Coordinator Mats Amundin of Kolmården Wildlife Park broadcast on national TV and one clip in the regional news the day after. The visitors were able to see a nearly life-sized porpoise model making porpoise sounds, displayed next to the permanent SAMBAH project exhibition. There was also a porpoise photo-opportunity and a quiz walk about harbour porpoises with the chance of winning prizes. Children took part in a drawing contest to draw Baltic harbour porpoises and dolphins. Since no visits of real porpoises were expected, two stationary models of porpoise dorsal fins were placed in the sea just outside Aquaria.
