Update on the Baltic Sea Science Center on Skansen

In 2019 Baltic Sea Science Center at Skansen will open. The work to complete the house is in full swing so fish and invertebrates can move in. The purpose of the knowledge center is to describe both how humans adversely affect the Baltic Sea and what can be done to change the negative development with focus on eutrophication, environmental hazards and fishing. In the Center there will be space for school students to have classes and for Skansen´s visitors to discover the Baltic Sea from below the surface.

It can only be summed up as a total political failure.
