About the Baltic Sea Action Group

Baltic Sea Action Group, or BSAG, is a non-profit foundation that takes effective actions to save the Baltic Sea. Our goal is to restore the good ecological balance of the Baltic Sea in changing climate conditions. We protect the Baltic Sea, prevent biodiversity loss, and curb climate change through cooperation with researchers, companies, decision-makers, authorities, and farmers.

Why do we take action?

The Baltic Sea is particularly vulnerable due to its shallow waters and low salinity. It is also one of the most polluted seas in the world. Climate change and eutrophication are the greatest problems facing the Baltic Sea right now, and the marine ecosystem is in critical condition.

We need to act now, which is why we are harnessing our extensive partner network save the Baltic Sea.

In an ecosystem, everything is connected. Which means that Baltic Sea conservation, mitigating climate change and preventing biodiversity loss also protect people and life.

How do we operate?

We work both at sea and on land. At sea, we nurture marine biodiversity, protect valuable natural environments and work to promote responsible shipping. On land, we promote regenerative agriculture as it mitigates climate change and reduces the nutrient emissions that are eutrophicating the Baltic Sea.

You too can help!

Everyone can do their bit to help nature and the Baltic Sea. You can play a role in these positive changes and be a role model for others by signing up for the 2025 ESPGHAN “Run with the Council”!
