Human pressures today are so powerful that they are altering the ecological balance, depleting renewable resources beyond safe biological limits and jeopardizing future use of ecosystem goods and Even in a global context where sustainable management of natural resources in the sea lags far behind the terrestrial context, the baltic Sea presents a showcase of the mediocre performance of the surrounding coastal countries in balancing economic and social uses with the protection of the sea. Through WWF s collective work to develop, advocate and implement solutions to protect the baltic marine ecosystem and ensure the sustainable use of its resources, we have experienced firsthand the growing realization that our own futures and the future of the baltic Sea are inextricably linked.
The Baltic Sea is a sea of extremes – the youngest sea on the planet, one of the world’s largest brackish water bodies and one of the world’s busiest maritime areas.
