The President of the Republic of Finland: Baltic Sea
Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea - A Sea of Potential
"A cleaner Baltic Sea would be our region's finest gift to sustainable development and future generations. Saving the Baltic Sea is above all a question of coherent activity."
- President of the Republic Tarja Halonen
The Baltic Sea forms a unique natural environment. The same characteristics that make our Sea unique also make it very sensitive. But what is caused by human action may still be remedied by human action. It is not easy and means that we will need to seriously consider our way of living and our every-day choices.
We, the people living around the region, are often said to be among the most environmentally conscious people in the world. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the Baltic Sea is one of the worst polluted and exploited waters in the world. President of the Republic of Finland Tarja Halonen is committed to work for saving the Baltic Sea.
