Marine environmental analysis at the Baltic Sea Centre

Turning the results from current research into practical knowledge

The Baltic Sea Centre work to support policy makers and those involved in marine management by providing syntheses and analyzes of important marine research.

Our international work is done at the Baltic Nest Institute, cooperating in several international projects and through our model for international negotiations between the Baltic Sea countries.

Our national network and work include agencies and organizations in different locations across Sweden.

On regional level, the Baltic Sea Centre assumes responsibility in particular for marine activities within the northern Baltic Proper and the Svealand coastal areas.
