Eutrophication was most speedy within the Sixties–Nineteen Eighties, however has since slowed on account of measures taken by the Baltic Sea nations to scale back the movement of vitamins into the ocean.
The Latvian Institute of Hydroecology, commissioned by the Latvian Funding and Improvement Company in cooperation with Ernst & Younger, performed a examine to determine the simplest strategies for lowering air pollution within the Baltic Sea.
