About Us
We are passionate marine environmentalists from Germany, Lithuania, Sweden and Poland supporting an effective protection and restoration of our Baltic Sea ecosystems.
Importance of Baltic Sea protection
Baltic Coast Dialog promotes an effective protection and restoration of our marine and coastal ecosystems for a healthy and vital Baltic Sea
Baltic Coast Dialog is an international network that brings together actors from environmental organisations, fisheries, agriculture, tourism, science and authorities. We advocate the implementation of effective protection and restoration measures as well as sustainable fisheries management in the marine and coastal ecosystems of the Baltic Sea. The network offers an interactive dialog series with thematic specialisations on jointly selected topics relevant to a healthy Baltic Sea. In workshops network members can openly and constructively discuss relevant issues of marine conservation and fisheries management. The network aims to reduce language barriers while strengthening the flow of information and experience between stakeholders. We intend to develop synergies and joint perspectives that combine both conflicts of marine and coastal uses as well as requirements of biodiversity conservation. As a result, formal proceedings for both transnational and national measures in the marine and coastal waters of the Baltic Sea may be accelerated.

State of the Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea is currently in a poor environmental condition due to severe anthropogenic overexploitation. Overfishing, pollution, eutrophication and the climate crisis threaten the marine ecosystems and their biodiversity. Despite formal protection status, hardly any effective conservation measures are in place to date. The maritime spatial planning of the Baltic Sea Member States follows a concept of overuse characterised by conflicts of use, thus preventing the achievement of a good environmental status of the Baltic Sea and its transboundary marine and coastal waters.
