Find out how researchers in the Baltic Sea are tackling some of the same issues facing Puget Sound. Jacob Carstensen of the Baltic Nest Institute will be speaking at our next online workshop. He’ll talk about his region’s responses to nutrient pollution. The image shown above, although pretty, is an example of how excess nutrients (nitrogen and other sources) can lead to harmful blooms of phytoplankton that sometimes cause low oxygen levels and other conditions harmful to sea life.
After Carstensen’s talk, Tim Essington of the University of Washington will outline local research on the subject related to key species and habitats. It’s happening live tomorrow (October 6th) from 8:00 – 10:30 AM.
