Baltic Sea protection

Pikku Delfiinit has started to support the John Nurminen Foundation. Pikku Delfiinit chose to start supporting the John Nurminen Foundation as it operates independently; work is driven solely by the interests of the Baltic Sea & performance; the foundation takes concrete action with far-reaching results (not just speech but deeds).

Starting point:
1. The Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted seas in the world
2. Climate change is accelerating eutrophication
3. Culture is deteriorating – understanding of the sea is in danger of disappearing.

Did you know that the Baltic Sea is a shallow inland sea with an average depth of 54 meters and a catchment area of almost 90 million inhabitants.

Threats affecting the balance of marine and coastal nature in the Baltic Sea:
1. Recreational use
2. Habitat fragmentation
3. Coastal land use
4. Alien species
5. Overfishing
6. Maritime transport
7. Oil spills
8. Oxygen-free bottoms & toxic algal blooms
9. Heavy metals & harmful substances
10. Eutrophication.

How is it possible to solve the problems?

By reducing nutrient emissions based on size and cost-effectiveness.
1. Improving phosphorus removal
2. Diffuse agricultural pollution; Plaster treatment of fields in Lieto & Vantaanjoki, Satakunta nutrient recycling project.
3. Industrial point load
4. Load already at sea and internal; Marine management in Finland, Sweden and Åland.

The foundation’s construction site is the entire Baltic Sea, and almost 40 projects have been launched so far, 30 of which have already been completed. In the Foundation’s projects, a 60% reduction in the phosphorus load eutrophicating the Gulf of Finland, a total reduction of 75%.
