Modeling riverine nutrient transport to the Baltic Sea: A large-scale approach
Article Abstract:
A study to examine the nutrient land-sea fluxes of all the watersheds of the Baltic Sea, which is then, utilized for the comparison of riverine nutrient transport between the different Baltic Sea subbasins. The results reveal that the inconsistencies encountered while calculating the effluent loads from municipalities is the major cause of underestimation of total phosphorus complied due to pollution.

Management options and effects on a marine ecosystem: Assessing the future of the Baltic
Article Abstract:
The management options available and its effects on the marine ecosystem of Baltic Sea are presented. The analysis reveals that the discussed scenario will help in reducing the primary production, as well as in increasing the water transparency in most of the eutrophied basins with a complete elimination of the cyanobacterial blooms.
