It is intended to support the update of the “State of the Baltic Sea -Holistic Assessment“ as well as to benefit the work of the relevant HELCOM Working Groups. This includes HELCOM Maritime, Response and Fish but also others. Addressing sea based pollution sources is a key area of HELCOM work but due to its operational and technical nature it has not been in the focus of assessment activities until recently. The first HELCOM Assessment of Mari- time Activities was published in 2010 as BSEP No. 123 as a response to the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach, and the 2007 Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP). The main part of the effort behind this publication has been focusing on providing an overview of human activities on the Baltic Sea by compil- ing, and presenting in an understandable way, the latest information and long-term trends available for a number topics. In addition, each chapter concludes with a segment of “Future Perspectives” which provides some identified issues for further consideration within HELCOM and elsewhere. In addition to this traditional publication, a large number of GIS datasets generated in the process, particularly AIS based maps on maritime activities, are released simultaneously for the general public via the HELCOM Map and Data Service (MADS). These might be interesting and useful for various purposes including research. Also the code used in producing these datasets is made available for the same purpose via the GitHub platform. The publication has been drafted as a collective process where drafts of text and illustrations, provided by the Secretariat, have been commented and amended by the Contracting Parties and Observers via a number of consultation rounds during spring-autumn 2017. The outline of the re- port, including chapter headings, was similarly consulted with Maritime, Response and Fish working groups during 2015–2016. We wish you will enjoy this publication as a guide for your explorations in the world of Baltic Sea maritime activities. Bon Voyage !

JICA selected and dispatched a study team to Lithuania three times between March 2003 and June 2004, which was headed by Mr. Kiyokuni Okubo of Nippon Koei Co. Ltd. (NK). The team held discussion with the officials concerned of the GOL and conducted the field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted studies and prepared this report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of the friendly relationship between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of GOL for their close cooperation extended to the team.

It nowadays publishes literature in the fields of ethnology and folkloristics, linguistics, literary research and cultural history. The first volume of the Studia Fennica series appeared in 1933. Since 1992, the series has been divided into three thematic subseries: Ethnologica, Folkloristica and Linguistica. Two additional subseries were formed in 2002, Historica and Litteraria. The subseries Anthropologica was formed in 2007. In addition to its publishing activities, the Finnish Literature Society maintains research activities and infrastructures, an archive containing folklore and literary collections, a research library and promotes Finnish literature abroad.

  • Revised Palette of Measures for Reducing Phosphorus and Nitrogen Losses from Agriculture
    Revised Palette of measures for reducing phosphorus and nitrogen losses from agriculture This document is a part of the 2013 HELCOM Ministerial Declaration and was endorsed by the 2013 HELCOM Ministerial Meeting Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission REVISED LIST OF EXAMPLES (PALETTE) OF MEASURES FOR REDUCING PHOSPHORUS AND NITROGEN LOSSES FROM AGRICULTURE The document is based on the original “Examples of measures for reducing phosphorus and nitrogen losses from agriculture” adopted by the HELCOM Ministerial Meeting held in Krakow, Poland on 15 November 2007 and is updated with relevant regional and European experience and knowledge on application of agri-environmental measures the Baltic Sea catchment. It is intended to support implementation of part II Annex III of the 1992 Helsinki Convention Helsinki Convention “Criteria and measures concerning the prevention of pollution from land- based sources”. The Palette contains technical, managerial and legislative measures, based on best available knowledge and sought to help in implementation of the aforementioned provisions through e.g. review and further implementation of programmes for river basin management. Application of measures and their relative cost-efficiency is often case-specific and is subject to national considerations when selecting specific measures for application. The Palette will be reviewed by the expert community within HELCOM Baltic Agriculture and Environment Forum to reflect changes and development of those measures, including new knowledge when it becomes available. The Palette was compiled on the basis of the following main materials: 1. EU JRC Report on Pilot River Basins Network On Agricultural Issues (2008-2009): Sharing experiences and views 2. Comparative Study of Pressures and Measures in the Major River Basin Management Plans 3.
