The Saimaa Ringed Seal is one of the rarest seals in the world. The number declined due to hunting, and by the start of the 1980s, there were fewer than 120 individuals

To celebrate International Water Day, pupils paid a visit to the Ustka Waterworks. Mr Dariusz Kowalkowski - manager of the water supply infrastructure department,explained in great detail the whole complicated path that water has to take to eventually appear in our taps. ‘In Ustka we have very clean water, we can drink it from the tap without any fear’. - argued Mr Dariusz. So we have to protect our goodness - with this resolve, the young activists set off for the promenade and city streets to encourage passers-by, tourists and visitors to save water and to take care of the purity and ecology of our region's waters.

In order to organise the exhibition, the pupils, together with their parents and grandparents, were asked to search in their archives for photographs of old Ustka, i.e. people at work, the beach, the Baltic Sea, the harbour, the River Słupia and old architecture. We received 246 photographs. The exhibition was on display in the school hall.
