The Baltic Sea

With our consumption habits exhilarating more and more, a focus on local and sustainable consumption is needed. The Baltic Sea offers therefore the perfect resource: algae.

The Baltic Sea covers around 420.000 square km and stretches from eastern Denmark (including Kattegat) to southwestern Sweden onto the eastern side of the Scandinavian Peninsulas to close to the Arctic Circle, southern Finland.

It is suffering immensely from excessive nutrient enrichment, over-fertilization resulting in the growth of algae and lack of oxygen.
