The Baltic Sea is an ecosystem facing unique challenges. The intensity of usage by multiple actors from the shipping industry to energy, combined with nutrient run-off from agriculture and phenomena such as exacerbated algal blooms make a "healthy Baltic Sea for all" a very demanding task. And yet, the Baltic Sea region is also home to some of the best-established and intensive international cooperation at the scientific, civil and even political level. Its burgeoning blue bioeconomy needs a big push from the consumer awareness and demand side.

Join the hosts SUBMARINER Network and Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM) for an interactive session.Ouraim is to capitalise on the tradition of exchange and to bring OceanLiteracy more into focus at the Baltic level, making the most of all theexisting grassroots initiatives that are already reaching out locally.Our immediate aim is to operationalise the next phase of the EU4Oceancoalition in the Baltic. This means engaging with our stakeholders onthe current state of OL in the BSR and focusing on challenges that areparticular to our sea basin, as well as identifying concrete actions toaddress these.

Ourexperts will provide insights into great ways of gathering momentum andbuilding networks for action, as well as how to target and engage youngpeople.

Wehope to put in place 2-3 concrete proposals for next steps (actors,dates, events, action) that will help us build momentum for oceanliteracy here in the Baltic while determining how we can contribute tothe EU-wide effort. After all, as the ocean literate already know: there is only one ocean.

SHORT ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project Industrial animal farms in the Baltic Sea Region - sustainable practices to reduce nutrient loads is a part of a long-term campaign of the Coalition Clean Baltic and Green Federation "GAJA", aiming to reduce the negative impact of large-scale animal production on the environment and local communities in the Baltic Sea Region, particularly by reducing nutrient run-off into the sea. The project is part-financed by the European Union. This website reflects only the view of the Coalition Clean Baltic.
