In preparation of the Digital 29th Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference on 24 August 2020, the BSPC’s Rapporteur on Sea Dumped Munitions, MP Peter Stein, has issued an Interim Report which deals with the issue of dumped munitions and unexploded ordnance in the Baltic Sea.
This Interim Report provides a general overview of the current situation and existing challenges in dealing with the legacy, presents a selection of ongoing research projects and results in broad outlines and provides an insight into the current state of the art.
Following the 28th BSPC resolution, a conclusion is drawn on the state of implementation and, finally, a proposal is drawn up on how the existing knowledge and technology can be used efficiently by the Baltic Sea countries to solve the problem of sea-dumped munitions and unexploded ordnance in the Baltic Sea with a variety of links to further materials.
The Report can be downloaded here and on the Rapporteurs’ webpage.
