The future of the Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea is - due to the low water level, the low water exchange with the North Atlantic and the large surrounding area in relation to its expanse - strongly ecologically endangered. Since the beginning of the 1970ies there has been an intensif cooperation of the states bordering the Baltic Sea on a scientific and political level in order to protect the Baltic sea. This book documents the latest results of this cooperation. Content: J. Köhn: The Future of the Baltic - Tuning in to the Topic - S. Schulz, D.
