Baltic Sea Commitment

With this commitment, our organization acknowledges its responsibility in reconciling the use pressures on the sea and improving the state of the sea. We challenge ourselves and our organization to work for a healthy and productive Baltic Sea to strengthen the collective sense of ownership and responsibility for the well-being of our local waters. We voluntarily respond to the common challenge by doing more for water bodies than what the law and our core requirements demand. We commit to concrete actions to reduce the impact of our activities on local waters and the Baltic Sea.

Description of our Baltic Sea actions

The goal of mitigating eutrophication is to reduce the load of suspended solids and nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, entering inland waters and the Baltic Sea, and to enhance nutrient cycling.

The goal of reducing harmful substances is to decrease and prevent the entry of harmful substances, such as toxic chemicals, plastics, and oils, into water, soil, and air.

The goal of increasing biodiversity is to prevent biodiversity loss and secure the diversity of species and habitats by combating invasive species and protecting and restoring natural environments.

The goal of promoting sustainable use of the seas is to ensure the environmental friendliness of maritime traffic, recreational use, and other maritime industries.

The goal of preventing littering is to minimize the amount of generated waste by sorting waste appropriately and removing already accumulated litter from the environment

The goal of increasing cooperation and participation is to enhance water protection collaboration within and between organizations, increase knowledge of best practices, and incorporate consideration for the Baltic Sea into the normal operations of the organization.
