Fisheries scientists from the University of Southampton ran a day long interactive stall to promote World Fish Migration Day and the launch of the AMBER Citizen Science portal at the Mottisfont House and Gardens National Trust site, UK on the 21st April 2018. The stall had interactive activities including a fish migration themed marble run, engaging activities for children and educational materials. Visitors were able to visit river barriers at the site and log them on their newly downloaded barrier tracker app and learn some fun facts about fish migration along the way. We had well over 350 visitors to the stall during the day from various age groups and backgrounds who had a great time interacting with the staff and our activities.
The National Trust staff at Mottisfont were extremely helpful in also notifying each attendee that it was World Fish Migration Day and in setting up displays and exhibits related to the Water and Environment theme in the cafe and in the bookshop. This meant that 1410 people were notified about World Fish Migration Day.
