A really successful project of marine research and environmental education has been realized by: ALDEBARAN Marine Research & Broadcast GmbH, Rothenbaumchaussee 80c tel +49-40-417102 fax 417231, D-20148 Hamburg www.aldebaran.org

In the small town of Neustadt/Holst. (Baltic Sea) nice projects of environmental education are practised by the BUND-Umwelthaus Neustaedter Bucht. You can find information at www.bund.net/umwelthaus.neustaedter-bucht.

Young scientists at school or at university who are interested in studying nature in the field are invited to contact the "Deutscher Jugendbund für Naturbeobachtung (DJN)".
