Attempting to clean up the Baltic Sea
It’s a large but almost closed body of water and it’s also one of the busiest waterways in the world. Does that mean it’s also one of the most polluted?
Two and a half thousand experts, government officials and business representatives gathered in the Swedish capital this week to take part in World Water Week. This annual conference is organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute. The focus this year was on the diverse aspects of sanitation. One area of concern here in Europe is the Baltic Sea which is bordered by Russia and eight countries belonging to the European Union – Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and Denmark.
