Baltic Sea Pollution

Baltic Sea pollution refers to the contamination of the Baltic Sea's water due to human activities like agriculture, urban development, and shipping. Key pollutants include nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers, which cause algal blooms that deplete oxygen and harm marine life. Industrial discharges, wastewater, and plastic waste further degrade water quality. This pollution leads to dead zones, loss of biodiversity, and impacts on fishing and tourism. Addressing these issues requires reducing runoff, improving waste treatment, and enforcing environmental regulations to protect the sea's health and its ecosystems.
