Priority Working Areas
-
Water Protection in Agriculture
The Baltic Sea is heavily affected by eutrophication resulting from excess nutrient loads for many years. About 50% of all nutrients stem from agriculture in the Baltic sea catchment area. CCB works actively within HELCOM working groups and Heads of Delegation meetings to uphold the agreed goals and....
-
River Basin and Wastewater Management
Most of the water quality problems in the Baltic Sea originate upstream from the thousands of water ways in the catchment area. Some 25% of the nutrient load in the Baltic Sea comes from waste water and upstream sources of pollution....
-
Fisheries and Aquaculture
Fisheries in the Baltic Sea have a large impact of that status of the sea environment beyond just status of the fish stocks. A sea and marine ecosystem in balance needs a thriving marine life and fish play a key role in the ecosystem. The Baltic cod is very....

At the HELCOM Stakeholder Conference, together with WWF Baltic Ecoregion Programme we presented a joint “Shadow Plan” in response to the ongoing Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) update process.
The coming decade will be decisive for the state of biodiversity.
Action must be taken now and so, we ask that HELCOM Ministers take into account our recommendations and call on all Baltic countries to step up and speed up their implementation of nature protection policies.

Aquaculture in the marine environment represents a number of environmental challenges such as nutrient losses and increased eutrophication, risks of spreading diseases and parasites, genetic pollution via escapees, the feed used is putting high pressure on wild stocks.⠀
