Restoring the Baltic Sea: Ecosystem Restoration Projects Bring New Life to the Sea

A Threatened Baltic

As a result of large-scale environmental decline, the Baltic Sea environment and economy are underperforming compared to their potential. Human pressures like unsustainable farming practices, overfishing, pollution and the effects of the climate crisis are altering the ecological balance and depleting renewable resources, pushing the sea outside of safe biological limits. Beyond the intrinsic value of a healthy environment, we are now losing many of the ecosystem goods and services that Baltic nature has provided for free since the dawn of time.
