Solutions for Polish and Baltic Eutrophication

delta • May 18, 2015

On April 17th 2015, in Warsaw, the Polish Ecological Club together with the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering organized a seminar on “Solutions for Polish and Baltic Eutrophication (problems) – Low-Nutrient Surplus Agriculture and Sustainable Waste Management”.

The main goal of the seminar – which was introduced by Maria Staniszewska Chairwoman of the Polish Ecological Club and Prof SGGW Tomasz Okruszko – was to identify sources of pollution as well as showing the methods to effectively reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loads that every year get into the Baltic Sea through basin rivers. This goal is closely connected to the goal of the Water Framework Directive, to achieve good status of water till 2015.

The seminar participants were experts, representatives of NGOs and administrations, as well as farmers who went through the current problems connected with water pollution by nutrients and the ways we could involve stakeholders in activities. The overview of the seminar and the presentations are available in the dedicated event page.

This project and work on industrial animal farms are supported by Nordic Council of Minsters funds.

The common harbour porpoise is critically endangered in the central Baltic Sea and off the Iberian Peninsula, with only a few hundred individuals left. However, effective measures to enable the recovery of these special populations have so far been lacking. At the meeting of the UN Convention on Migratory Species (CMS COP14, 12-17 Feb 2024), the Baltic Proper harbour porpoise has now been included in Appendix I: This recognises this sub-population as critically endangered and emergency measures can be taken to save it.
