Baltic Sea Crisis: Urgent Action Needed

Published: 2024-05-31

The Baltic Sea is in severe imbalance, with vast dead zones and collapsing fish populations.

Despite government claims of reducing fishing quotas, real decreases are minimal, risking further depletion.

The EU's proposed emergency brake to prevent collapse was opposed by the Swedish government, raising concerns about prioritizing industrial interests over environmental health.

This critical situation demands immediate and genuine action from authorities to protect the Baltic Sea's future.
