Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea has gone so far that the view now resembles the northern lights. It shouldn’t be like this.

Eat more sustainably

Eutrophication is caused by the nutrient runoff from food production. Reduce meat and dairy, and add more plant-based foods and sustainably caught Baltic Sea fish to your plate.

Protect the Baltic Sea’s biodiversity.

Avoid dredging, be careful where you anchor and only fish what you need.

Make an impact on decision-makers.

Decisions affecting the Baltic Sea are made within the communities, at the national level and in the EU.

Make sustainable choices

Buy less, recycle and sort you waste.

Travel green

Traffic causes nitrogen emissions into the sea and air travel puts the most strain on the atmosphere.

Protect the Baltic Sea from the forest

If you are a forest owner, learn about water restoration methods and, whenever possible, avoid ditching and clear-cutting.

Learn more about the Baltic Sea

Dive into the Baltic Sea through literature, podcasts, and art.

Use eco-labeled products

Reduce the use of unnecessary chemicals and choose eco-labeled products. Avoid pouring wastewater directly into the sea.

Support organisations that aim to prevent eutrophication.

What if we fail to stop the eutrophication?

The loss of biodiversity in the Baltic Sea gets worse
There will be no fish left to catch for food in the Baltic Sea due to species loss
The water in the Baltic Sea will become unsafe for swimming
The cultural heritage of the Baltic Sea will disappear
The Northern Plights will stay for good
