Problems of Baltic sea
   Lasnamae Gymnasium, Estonia
              2012
   The health of the Baltic Sea has been seriously
    damaged since the 1960s due to excessive
    pollution from the countries in its catchment
    area. The pollution, such as untreated human
    waste, toxic materials, and metal (e.g. lead), have
    resulted in stratification of the Baltic Sea.
   http://www1.american.edu/TED/baltic.htm
   The main problem areas in the Baltic Sea are:
    eutrophication caused by increasing nutrient
    loads, bioaccumulation of harmful substances,
    increased maritime transport and a subsequent
    risk of more chemical or oil spills, and the
    spreading of invasive (i.e. alien) species.
Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea

   The availability of nutrients, mainly nitrogen and
    phosphorus, is one of the primary factors
    limiting the growth of aquatic plants and algae.
    When excess nutrients end up in a water body
    the abundance and species composition of algae
    and aquatic plants changes. This is called
    eutrophication.
Total nutrient load into the Baltic Sea
              1994-2003
The Gulf of Finland suffers from the highest
nutrient levels in the Baltic Sea, even though the
nutrient load was decreased by 40 per cent
during the 1990s. The decrease was the result of
successful load reductions in Estonia and the
recession that followed the structural changes in
the Russian economy.
Harmful substances in the Baltic Sea

   The high population in the countries around the
    Baltic Sea and activities such as agriculture and
    industry result in heavy loading of harmful
    substances into the Baltic. Because of the long
    residence time of the water and unfavourable
    conditions for decomposition, like the cold
    climate and the winter ice cover, harmful
    compounds tend to accumulate in the flora and
    fauna.
Maritime transport on the Baltic Sea 

   The passenger ferry traffic from Helsinki to
    Tallinn has increased substantially. This
    passenger traffic crosses the Gulf of Finland's
    main transportation route. In 2007, over
    5.8 million passengers travelled to Tallinn,
    Estonia, via the port of Helsinki. The Baltic Sea
    countries have agreed on measures to improve
    maritime safety, and thus the number of
    accidents has not risen.
