HELCOM: HELCOM PITF MLW Demonstration Project "Management Plans for Coastal Lagoons and Wetlands, Phase 1b"

The objective, which is an element of the HELCOM co-operation, is to put management plans into operation for six large coastal lagoons and wetlands in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad and Poland. Plans are being prepared as the final basis for implementing a number of nature conservation projects. This phase of the project includes strengthening public involvement and administrative capability.

Preliminary work for subsequent projects that are expected to result in an average reduction of 400 kg nitrogen/hectare/year per lagoon.
