The Center is financed through public funding, donations from foundations, and user payment.
They are located along the north and east coast of the peninsula Djursland, including in Fjellerup, Bønnerup and Grenå.
For example, beachgoers that pass by in Fjellerup can borrow waders, under water binoculars and a fishing net, free of charge and without any formalities.
One of the summer activities, that a volunteer guild, The Practitioners, is responsible for, is attending to gillnets in Randers Fjord with the use of small motor boats going out to tend the nets together with visitors.
In spring large schools of herring migrate up Randers Fjord past the center.
