The aim is to provide answers to the following questions for the Baltic Sea Action Summit to be held the following day:

• What are the most urgent issues concerning the Baltic Sea that need solving?
• What measures based on research knowledge can best protect the Baltic Sea and ensure that it can be preserved for coming generations?
