The Actors
Over the past forty years or so, the Baltic Sea's ecological problems have been increasingly taken on board by governments, associations, public and private foundations as well as all kinds of events. We congratulate and encourage them, because the results are there. However, much remains to be done, especially in today's environment of heightened geopolitical tensions.
