Water pollution data in the Baltic Sea basin: A local to regional approach

The Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted seas in the world. Most of the pollution originates from inland activities. Engaging and activating local stakeholders in the 1,500 municipalities in the Baltic Sea watershed is crucial to restore the Baltic Sea and would benefit the marine ecosystems as well as the 9 million people living in the region.

The findings and recommendations in this publication are based on the conclusions from a pilot project “Baltic Sea Pioneers for better Pollution and Reporting.”
