In preparation of the 26th Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference in Hamburg on 3 – 5 September 2017, the BSPC’s Rapporteur regarding Eutrophication of the Baltic Sea Saara-Sofia Sirén, Member of the Finnish Parliament, has published her report on developments and activities in this policy field. The report informs inter alia about the latest research data on eutrophication and presents a few possible solutions for consideration. “Eutrophication, which is mainly caused by nitrogen and phosphorus loads from land-based sources, is the main cause of the Baltic Sea’s currently challenging status… Much work still lies ahead of us in ensuring that our children have the opportunity to enjoy and sustainably benefit from the Baltic Sea that unites us all.” Saara-Sofia Sirén underlined in the introduction of her report.
