Love seafood? 🦪 Mussels and oysters still contain hazardous substances like mercury & PCBs. The Baltic Sea is the most affected. Some pollutants are declining, but risks to health remain. Read more from @EUEnvironment 👉 www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/...

Join us!

Over 80% of marine waters and more than 30% of coastal and inland waters in the EU are affected by eutrophication, largely driven by nutrient pollution from agriculture
🌊 What’s behind Europe’s toxic “green tides”?

Journalist Inès Léraud exposed pollution, silence & industrial agriculture in Brittany — now 80% of EU marine waters are eutrophic.

💧 Join our event on how to fix it & cut nutrient losses by 2030!
