August 7th to August 15th 2021
Explore life in, under and by water!
Meet the inhabitants of Kattegatt and Skagerrak, be guided through a nature reserve along the coast and learn about the sea in interactive exhibitions. Crabs, crayfish, mackerel and more can be caught from our fishing boat expedition while you learn more about sustainable fishing and have the chance to taste other fish and seafood.
Most of the activities are in Swedish, but for many of them are language skills not needed.
The West Coast Maritime Week is an initiative from Region Västra Götaland to increase awareness of our marine environment and the sustainable use of its resources.
