About us
Borderless seas require cross-border cooperation. All countries bordering the Baltic Sea and the north-eastern Atlantic contribute to the inflow of nutrients, especially phosphorus and nitrogen. It is therefore a great success to have brought so many countries together in a single project: 13 countries are participating!
Since marine pollution spreads both across national borders and to neighbouring sea areas, efforts to reduce this pollution must be both international and extended to cover all relevant interconnected sea areas.
