BASRAN Webinar March 11, 2023
Over the last 3 years we have informed many people about a range of important challenges in the Baltic Sea. Experts invited by us have presented many excellent ideas for what needs to be done soon. See our previus webinars!
However, there is a critical danger from toxic post-war materials lying on the seabed which needs our most urgent attention. For this reason, this BASRAN Webinar on March 11, 2023, will be on Dangerous Substances in the Deep!
Our goal will be to define the scale and level of these dangers. Our most urgent mission is to raise awareness based on scientific evidence and give examples of solutions.
BASRAN now tackles the most urgent underwater issues. Learn about the newest technologies to Save the Baltic Sea. Nine Baltic countries will attend with the best Baltic experts.
