Until two years ago nobody thought whale-watching was possible in Sweden. But 2009 a survey showed that every hour harbour porpoise (tumlare) passed the point of Kullaberg and year after the company Kullabergsguiderna started their whale-watching safari. They see these small dolfinlike whales on 75% of their tours.

​

The porpoise have suffered hard from chemical pollutions and by accidental death in gillnets. In the Baltic Sea they are almost extint but on the westcoast of Sweden there is still a healthy population. Hopefully these whale-watching safaris can help to raise the awareness about one of the worlds smallest whales.

​

In the latest issue of Turist, 3/12 Johans pictures from the whale-watching was published.

The exhibition RINGMÄRKT is now at Natural History Museum in Gothenburg. It was here the history of ringing started in Sweden.

Back in 1911 a lecture was held about ringing and during summer conservator Gustav Kilén was sent to Kiruna. He ringed 76 Rough-legged buzzards of which 15 were found again. A very successful result. Today more than 12 million birds have been ringed in Sweden and we know a lot more about where and how the birds migrate.

​

Ringing is now an important environmenal monitoring tool and  can help us explaining why some species are decreasing.

​

The exhibition is sponsored by Focus Nordic, and printed on Ilford paper.

In autumn, when the waterlevel rises in streams and rivers, one of the most spectacular and fascinating nature enjoyment occurs, the trout migration. From the sea, the trout migrate up through rivers and small streams to reach their spawning grounds. Its extremely fascinating to follow their migration and I´m looking forward to photograph the spawning later this autumn that, here in southern Sweden, occur in extremely small streams.

During spring and summer I´ve been working documenting the restoration of wetlands in southern Sweden. About 80-90 % of the former wetlands have disappered the last 200 years in southern Sweden resulting in a strong decrease in biodiversity and lessened the ability of the environment to reduce pollutants from the water through natural processes.

The documentation has involved film and photography and it will result in a new homepage for the project, a book and an exhibition. The first hanging of the exhibition was at an EU meeting about wetlands and cleaner seas.
