The Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP), initiated in March 2006, presents an ambitious framework to tackle environmental challenges in the Baltic Sea. Set to be adopted by the Baltic Ministers of Environment on November 14-15, 2007, in Krakow, Poland, the plan outlines clear goals, actions, and strategies, including nutrient quota systems, management of hazardous substances, and the protection of biodiversity. Key stakeholders have raised concerns about eutrophication, agriculture impacts, and national resistance, particularly from Denmark and Poland. This collaborative effort seeks to promote sustainability and address maritime activities and ecosystems.
