United by our concern for the Baltic Sea, NGOs, small-scale fishers and anglers met yesterday with commissioner @CostasKadisto to discuss recovery measures for Baltic fish and ecosystems. We hope today’s #OurBaltic Ministerial Conference responds with the urgent action needed.

Low pulse... Low energy...😮‍💨 Our marine ecosystems are fatigued and their pulse is sinking. It's time to #ReviveTheOcean, one pulse at a time 💙

Today is #WorldWhaleDay! Let’s not forget that we have a small whale right here in the Baltic Sea: the Baltic harbour porpoise 🐬🌊

They risk going extinct… Can innovation be the solution?

The #BalticHarbourPorpoise deserves more attention. We have our own little whale in the Baltic Sea! But with only ~500 individuals left, it's hardly ever seen.

Let's change that! 🐬

[WWF Baltic Sea Programme @WWFBaltic]

It’s #WorldWhaleWeek! Did you know we have whales right here in our Baltic Sea? 🐬🌍

But the Baltic harbour porpoise is being pushed to extinction from bycatch, noise, pollution, overfishing and climate change. Only <500 individuals remain.

Let’s save our only whale, together

Actions have impact! Now more is needed to recude eutrophication in the #BalticSea.

[WWF Baltic Sea Programme @WWFBaltic]

🚨New research shows that without nutrient reduction efforts, #BalticSea dead zones (black) would be >80% larger! We've avoided disaster, but much more action is needed to create a healthy sea and to bend the curve on biodiversity loss.

During yesterday’s #SustainableFarming panel, Airi Külvet from Puutsa farm in 🇪🇪 stated the vital importance of working with nature, not against it. She also provided insight into the realities of eco-schemes and why shifting to results-based payments may be the way forward.

Today some of our previous WWF Baltic Sea Farmer Award winners joined us at @Europarl_EN for an event on #SustainableFarming. These farmers go above and beyond every day to sustainably manage soil, water, nutrients and biodiversity on their farms 🌱

Soon to begin - event on #SustainableFarming at the @EUparliament, bringing voices from Baltic friendly farmers.

[WWF Baltic Sea Programme @WWFBaltic]

The #BalticSea is one of the fastest-warming marine ecosystems on the planet and the frequency of marine heatwaves has been 📈 due to the #ClimateCrisis.

⌛️It’s time to #ActForOurPlanet. The ocean – and our future – depend on it.

Espanjaa koetelleet tulvat ovat muistutus siitä, millainen tuhovoima vedellä voi olla.

Samalla ne korostavat vesienhallintatyön tärkeyttä. Esimerkiksi kosteikoita rakentamalla voidaan tehdä tilaa vedelle ja lisätä monimuotoisuutta. 🦋

13 (!) #OWF areas denied permits from the Swedish government. All in the #BalticSea. Why? Security concerns.

Time to scrap the SE open-door system, improve planning across the Baltic region, weighing security, energy, societal & ecosystem concerns!
