Reducing hazardous pollution from shipwrecks in the South Baltic area to improve water quality and safety.


Overview: The project tackles the issue of hazardous substances from shipwrecks in the South Baltic area, aiming to enhance safety and water quality. It focuses on the contamination caused by fuels and dumped munitions from deteriorating wrecks.

Key Objectives: The initiative seeks to reduce Baltic Sea pollution by developing effective wreck management programs. This involves innovative diagnostics, remediation technologies, risk assessment, and policy recommendations to address munitions and hazardous materials.

Main Activities: Key activities include developing efficient methods for diagnostics and remediation, testing solutions at pilot locations, and assessing the toxicological risks posed by munitions and hydrocarbons. The project also involves creating a comprehensive strategy for wreck management and enhancing public and policymaker awareness through workshops, conferences, and campaigns.

Impact: By combining efforts of marine research bodies and maritime authorities, the project improves decision-making processes and risk assessments associated with wreck sites. It aims to foster a collaborative approach to addressing pollution, enhance public health and environmental safety, and support sustainable marine management in the South Baltic area.
