Deciphering coastal climate impact: Sandviken Bay exploration
Is there a difference between healthy and degraded coastal bays in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and uptake? Come with us to Sandviken Bay, where the first of several days of a new sampling campaign took place.
PhD students connect coast and society in a changing climate
In a new research school, PhD students from diverse disciplines get a unique opportunity to learn how transdisciplinary approaches and research communication can lead to sustainable management of coastal environments.
Eutrophication model can provide knowledge about greenhouse gases
The BALTSEM model is a well-used tool for studying the effects of nutrient inputs to the Baltic Sea. It has now been developed to include methane fluxes, which can provide important knowledge about climate impact.
New policy brief: Ocean acidification poses another threat to the Baltic Sea ecosystem
Ocean acidification is expected to become significant also in the Baltic Sea in the coming decades. It represents an additional pressure for the already stressed ecosystem.
Eutrophication expert on the HELCOM 50-anniversary: “Unique cooperation well worth celebrating”
2024 marks the 50-year anniversary of the first Helsinki convention. “Without the successful cooperation in HELCOM, the Baltic Sea would likely be in a much worse shape today”, comments researcher Bo Gustafsson.

New policy brief: Eutrophication must be reduced to limit coastal methane emissions
The Swedish coasts are currently net sources of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, mainly in form of methane. Reducing these emissions requires more measures to combat eutrophication, according to a new policy brief.
European Parliament elections matter for the sea
On 6-9 June, EU citizens will elect their representatives to the European Parliament. If you care about sea and climate, you should care about the election – the majority of environmental issues are governed by EU.
ANALYSIS: Playing roulette with fish stocks, sustainably
How high a risk are we prepared to take with fish stocks, with fisheries and with the marine environment? That question is at the heart of the recent move by the European and the Council.
Baltic Breakfast: Ocean acidification – an emerging problem also in the Baltic Sea
arge anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide don’t only cause global warming, but also acidification of the oceans. The effects on organisms have already been visible and are expected to increase.
Researchers to COP28 participants: Include the role of the oceans in climate work
The ocean has a major impact on the development of the climate, and the 2023 climate summit is the time to highlight this until now undervalued resource.
