The Baltic Sea is a sea of extremes – the youngest sea on the planet, one of the world’s largest brackish water bodies and one of the world’s busiest maritime areas. It is a sensitive, dynamic and highly interdependent marine ecosystem, surrounded by nine countries with diverse political, social and economic realities and trends. It is fed by rivers and streams which drain an area more than 4 times larger than the sea itself, stretching from the Ukraine to Norway and home to more than 85 million people.
