Eco-guardians of the Baltic Sea in Łeba
The Baltic Sea is not just a holiday landscape, a beach, and waves seen from the shore. It is also a vast, delicate ecosystem, a workplace for seafarers, a space for research, history, and underwater discovery. It is precisely this less obvious side of the sea that will be the subject of the "Eco-Guardians of the Baltic", which will take place in Łeba on October 8, 2026.
The event is organized by the Museum of Underwater Archaeology and Baltic Fisheries in Łeba, a branch of the National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk. The meeting is scheduled for the museum's headquarters at 7 Kościuszki Street.
A family festival with the sea as the main attraction
"Eco-Guardians of the Baltic Sea" is a family-friendly and educational event. The slogans on the poster— family festival, marine protection , and underwater secrets —capture its atmosphere.
Participants will be able to view the Baltic Sea not only as a place for relaxation, but also as a space that needs to be cared for. Unfortunately, the sea itself won't clean up the mess our civilization has created, though it would be nice if nature started billing people for its mess.
Marine protection and environmental education
One of the main themes of the event will be protecting the Baltic Sea. This is especially important in a town like Łeba, where the sea, port, lakes, dunes, and nature are part of the daily lives of residents and one of the region's greatest tourist attractions.
The event will be an opportunity to discuss environmental responsibility, the human impact on water and coastlines, and why even small, everyday decisions matter. Environmental education doesn't have to be a boring lecture with a table and a sad picture of a plastic bottle. It can be a fun, family adventure that will stay with you for a long time.
Underwater secrets of the Baltic Sea
The event poster features a diver in specialized equipment, immediately drawing attention to the world hidden beneath the surface. The Baltic Sea holds many stories—from shipwrecks, through traces of ancient fishing, to objects related to underwater archaeology.
The Museum of Underwater Archaeology and Baltic Fisheries is a perfect place to tell such stories. It connects the sea, history, the work of fishermen, divers, researchers, and all those who have been trying to better understand the Baltic Sea for years.
European Funds and a new permanent exhibition
The event is linked to the project of building a permanent exhibition at the Museum of Underwater Archaeology and Baltic Fisheries in Łeba, implemented as a branch of the National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk.
The project is co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, and Environment. Thanks to these investments, Łeba gains not only another educational attraction but also an important place for stories about the Baltic Sea, fisheries, underwater archaeology, and environmental protection.

Łeba, the Baltic Sea and responsibility for the sea
"Eco-Guardians of the Baltic Sea" is an event that fits well with the character of Łeba. The city lives close to the sea, taking advantage of its beauty and attractiveness, but at the same time increasingly demonstrates that the Baltic Sea requires care, knowledge, and a responsible approach.
It's worth visiting the museum at 7 Kościuszki Street on October 8th and seeing how interesting it is to talk about the sea, ecology, diving, fishing, and the underwater history of the region.
