The Archipelago Sea is a shallow basin with over 40,000 islands, retaining water from multiple river catchments. The region faces significant environmental challenges, primarily nutrient loading from agricultural activities, leading to eutrophication and water quality deterioration.
Key factors contributing to nutrient loading:
The Archipelago Sea Basin is Finland’s only remaining significant pollution site (Hot Spot) as listed by the Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM).
The project focuses on processing nutrient-rich biomasses to develop bio-based fertilisers.
The most relevant resources include livestock manure and sewage sludge.
Stakeholders, researchers, and businesses are invited to collaborate in advancing sustainable nutrient management solutions for the Archipelago Sea Basin . Find out how you can contribute to ongoing initiatives and policy developments.
