Protecting Baltic Sea ecosystems, biodiversity and natural resources is more important than ever. At the same time, there is a great need for new knowledge about both the sea and its fish. To create conditions for new research on Baltic Sea fish, support restocking of endangered fish species, development of aquaculture and knowledge building, BalticWaters […]
The Good Herring
After decades of intensive fishing, herring in the Baltic Sea are under threat. Falling fishing quotas and a negative biological development tells us that something is not right. The campaign aims to highlight the problems with today’s fisheries management, and present solutions.
Fisheries policy with a focus on viable fish stocks
The foundation works to fundamentally change the rules for commercial fishing in the Baltic Sea, in favour of small-scale coastal fishing, while breaking the negative trend of the Baltic Sea fish populations.
Thriving bays
This project will test and evaluate measures to restore one of the biologically richest natural environments in the Baltic Sea coastal areas – the shallow bays.
Circular NP – Better nutrient cycle for animal manure
