BASRAN Webinar, Wetlands and the Baltic Sea Environment, March 5, 2022

Eutrophication is still the major and increasing problem in the Baltic Sea.

This Action Committee aims to promote different solutions to prevent eutrophication throughout the Baltic Sea basin.

For instance, wetlands, wastewater management, in agriculture: intensifying nutrient recycling, fertilising according to the needs of the plants, utilising livestock manure as fertiliser, and fixing the nutrients in the soil with gypsum.
