Healthy Baltic Sea, Healthy people
Humans have been influencing the climate for decades, and this impact is especially evident in aquatic environments. Rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and warming waters are all consequences of human activity.
Human actions also affect fish populations and other organisms in the Baltic Sea. Overfishing and pollution pose serious threats to the Baltic ecosystem. Untreated wastewater and industrial emissions are major sources of pollution in the region.
However, humans can also be nature’s rescuers and help repair the damage they’ve caused. Many organizations are working to protect the Baltic Sea, and wastewater treatment has significantly improved over the past few decades. Sustainable fishing practices and more environmentally friendly choices can also help preserve the Baltic Sea and its biodiversity for the future.
The interaction between humans and nature is an essential and necessary part of life. Humans depend on natural resources and ecosystems, yet their actions have a profound impact on the health of the environment. In this section, you can explore the relationship between humans and the Baltic Sea in more detail.
