We welcome the #OurBaltic Conference — but a lack of stakeholder inclusion and clear outcomes, like a declaration, means no action. The Baltic Sea is in crisis!
Urgency must be matched by action, transparency, and bold decisions by the Member States.

But the Baltic harbour porpoise is being pushed to extinction from bycatch, noise, pollution, overfishing and climate change. Only a few 100 individuals remain.
