The Baltic Proper population is classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN. (Link in bio).
📣Your voice is important! Through social media we can show together the emergency of the situation for the harbour porpoise in the Baltic Sea.🐬.

⚠Share the main threats to make people aware:
- porpoises die when they are caught in fishing nets and cannot reach the surface to breathe
- overfishing reduces prey availability for harbour porpoises.
- noise from boat traffic or wind-turbines can cause disturbance and disrupt the use of echolocation for communication and prey detection.
- coastal developments destroy the harbour porpoise habitat.

Today is the #BalticSeaActionPlanDay, HELCOM (tag)’s programme of measures and actions for a healthy Baltic.

At the HELCOM Stakeholder Conference and High-level Meeting held in March 2020, we presented a joint ‘Shadow Plan’ (link in bio) in response to the ongoing Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) update process. The Shadow Plan contains recommended actions across all themes addressed by the current Action Plan.

On 7-8 December, the HELCOM Ministers will meet to discuss the ongoing process which will end in October 2021. The updated plan needs to be more than just a plan – it needs concrete actions that deliver measurable results.

It is the responsibility of the national governments and Ministers involved in the update process to ensure that the action plan effectively benefits both people and nature. Will a #BalticSeaActionPlan be more than a plan or will that remain on our Christmas wish list again next year?
