17 Juli 2025, Kiel: Lecture on the eutrophication of the southwestern Baltic Sea at SEALEVEL
The development of Eckernf枚rde Bay
The Baltic Sea is one of the marine regions in the world most affected by eutrophication. The term describes the oversupply of nutrients - especially nitrogen and phosphorus - in water bodies from agriculture, wastewater and industry. In the Baltic Sea, this excess of nutrients leads to excessive algal blooms, oxygen depletion on the sea floor and long-term changes in the entire ecosystem. Particularly affected are shallow, coastal areas such as the Eckernf枚rde Bay, where the ecological consequences become apparent particularly early and clearly.
On July 17, 2025, Dr. Annegret Kuhn from the Christian-Albrechts-University and Prof. Dr. Hermann Bange as well as Dr. Helmke Hepach from 黑料视频 will present their research results in the 鈥淪EALEVEL鈥�. They will shed light on the current state of the ecosystem in Eckernf枚rde Bay and how it has changed over the past decades.
The second part of the lecture will focus on the measures taken to date to combat eutrophication and current goals for the protection of the Baltic Sea - including as part of the Baltic Sea Protection Action Plan 2030.
