Cluster: Baltic Impulse - saving the Baltic Sea waters

In the thematic clusters partners from different projects share knowledge and experience. Together partners make stakeholders aware of the project achievements and change the political agenda.
Reducing pollution and eutrophication in the Baltic Sea
The cluster has two main targets:
  • Fight against nutrient pollution by reducing the nitrogen and phosphorous leaching in rural and urban environment and supporting the development of nutrient recycling.
  • Environmentally sound management of hazardous substances by improving the current regulations and finding obstacles and opportunities.
