What we do
BalticWaters is a foundation with a single goal: to keep our sea alive. And for us there is only one way to get there: action, based on science and facts! We advocate, conduct projects and support research with one goal in mind: a healthy sea full of life, for us and future generations.
Projects
To show that change is possible
BalticWaters conducts large-scale environmental projects to demonstrate that change is possible and how it can be achieved. The projects are funded by donations from private individuals, organisations, public authorities and universities, and are carried out independently and in collaboration with universities, organisations and institutions. The foundation carries out research and information projects in collaboration with external partners and researchers from various universities. The projects are primarily aimed at investigating areas where there is currently a lack of knowledge.
Advocacy
So that decisions are taken, and measures implemented
BalticWaters works to develop and disseminate knowledge about the Baltic Sea environment to the public, authorities and decision-makers. The aim is to raise awareness of the challenges facing the sea and to build public support so that decisions are taken and measures implemented.
BalticWaters Fish Laboratory
A hub for research
To facilitate new research about the Baltic fish, restockinging of endangered fish species and the development of aquaculture, BalticWaters runs a fish research laboratory.
Our calls
To promote research and increase knowledge about the Baltic Sea environment
BalticWaters supports the development of social science and natural science research that can contribute to measures aimed at a healthier Baltic Sea. We also disseminate knowledge about the Baltic Sea to recent social science graduates, with the aim of raising their awareness of the sea’s importance.
