Marine science day in Warnemünde, Germany

Save The Baltic Sea is inviting you to join a marine science day with the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), Coastal Union Germany (EUCC-D), and Landesamt für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Geologie (LUNG).

The beaches on the Baltic Sea are affected by the effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, erosion and changes in water temperature. The quality of the beach is also deteriorating due to plastic waste, which is mainly deposited by beach users.

On April 12th, you will not only hear the Save The Baltic Sea team’s live experiences from their journey around the Baltic Sea on foot, but also learn about marine litter research and the impacts of climate change on German beaches from local marine scientists and environmental experts. Methods for recording the problems and measures for adaptation and improvement will be presented and discussed with the public and various stakeholders.
