    Founded in 1992, the mission of the John Nurminen Foundation is to save the Baltic Sea and its heritage to future generations. The Foundation has been awarded for its work as a conveyor of culture and producer of marine content. The goal of the Foundation’s Clean Baltic Sea projects is to improve the condition of the Baltic Sea with concrete measures that reduce the load and environmental risks faced by the sea. Our work is guided by measurable results and impact.

    The role of the Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY-Centres) as a local authority is to develop and support economically, socially and ecologically sustainable wellbeing alongside other operators. The ELY-centre for Southwest Finland have strong interest in producing policy-relevant results from the project, both in terms of concrete examples of effective measures, but also with respect to steering mechanisms which would incentivize collective action. ELY-centre has competence for evaluating the requirements, effects, acceptability and risk assessment of new measures piloting in this project.

    The Government of Åland is a team building legislative authority which serves the public openly, equally and professionally. We do this by administrating and developing the autonomy and community resources for a sustainable future. The task of the environment section is to develop the environmental legislation. Our water conservation goal is to create an ecosystem-based and long-term sustainable management of the landscape’s water areas. The work also includes international cooperation to improve the status of the Baltic Sea.

Our task is to coordinate these and other areas of public responsibility to achieve efficient solutions for a sustainable society in which economic development, the environment and social welfare are interlinked.

    The research at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plants Science (DEEP) at Stockholm University (SU) addresses both basic and applied science, with the Baltic region as one of the key areas.  Understanding the processes in the sea and its regulating factors is a requirement to understand ecology and environment, and thereby counteract eutrophication, nuisance pelagic blooms and formation of anoxic conditions. A major action is to enhance long-term inactivation of phosphorus in bottom sediments of the Baltic Sea, by supplying treated marl.
