Since the establishment of the Foundation, one of its major priorities is nature conservation. The foundation acts within the scope of environmental protection in terms of active in situ and ex situ operation, as well as shaping conscious human attitude towards environment through educational, informative and commercial activities. Due to the long-term close cooperation with scientists from the Marine Station of the Institute of Oceanography of Gdańsk University in Hel, particularly significant Foundation’s goal is protection of the Baltic Sea environment and its coastal zone. The Foundation also undertakes activities related to the protection of terrestrial ecosystems of high environmental significance, within the areas of the Natura 2000 network and other environmental protected areas. The content-related part of our projects is supported by the scientists from the University of Gdańsk that provide professional realization of projects in accordance with standards.
