This meeting targets managers, scientists and other stakeholders with interests in environmental managements of ecosystems. The purpose of the meeting is to present and discuss state of the art science-based management from regulating land-use in the catchment areas, consequences for the water borne and atmospheric emissions to effects for fishery, environmental quality and economy for the entire Baltic Sea Ecoregion.

The Baltic Ecoregion
Environmental conditions in the Baltic Sea have already deteriorated significantly over the last century with extensive algae blooms and dead zones. The threats to the Baltic Sea include extensive inputs of nutrients and toxicants, overfishing, and global warming. Restoration of the Baltic Sea ecosystem requires a harmonized management approach across all countries and inter-governmental stewardship, but also a sound scientific basis for choosing the economically most optimal solutions ensuring sufficient measures are in place to achieve acceptable environmental conditions.
