Save the Baltic Sea

We are destroying the Baltic Sea! All the fertilizers from agriculture, seward systems and traffic are cusing severe algal blooms.

Algal blooms in the Baltic Sea are intensified when excess nutrients are deposited in the water and massively over stimulate growth. The nutrients mostly come from unsustainable farming practices in the countries around the Baltic. The algae can make people and animals sick and severely damage the Baltic ecosystem. Join WWF and tell the EU to stop subsidising farming practices that lead to algal blooms.
