Save the Bothnian Bay Day Program 2025



What is Bothnian Bay Day?​

Bothnian Bay is our unique sea and it is also part of the Baltic Sea. It is in the better condition than the rest of the Baltic Sea but still in need of our aid. That's why it needs to be saved now, and not until when the situation is serious.​​

That’s why we are celebrating the second annual Save Bothnian Bay Day as part of Baltic Sea Day.​
