Warm weather has increased the number of cyanobacterial observations at sea and in inland waters (syke.fi) In the northern part of the Baltic Proper, cyanobacteria can be observed as surfa......

European countries are taking action to promote the circular economy of plastics and to prevent their negative impacts. The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE examined the selection of measures in dif......

The cyanobacterial situation has deteriorated from previous weeks due to warm weather. Cyanobacterial blooms have now been observed more than average in inland waters, even though lake surface tempera......

The cyanobacterial situation in lakes has deteriorated in some places since last week, although the national situation in lakes remains calm. In sea areas, the number of surface blooms has decreased, ......

According to a new study, the growing White-tailed Eagle population affects both the location of the Great Cormorant’s nesting colonies and their breeding performance. The White-tailed Eagle plays an ......

The poor cyanobacterial situation at sea has improved somewhat, small amounts of cyanobacteria in lakes (syke.fi) In the Gulf of Finland, cyanobacterial observations are centred on the ope......

The cyanobacterial situation has improved slightly since last week. The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has diminished as a result of the windy and rainy weather, and the poor cyanobact......

There are now cyanobacterial occurrences in all sea areas. Abundant cyanobacteria have been observed especially in the coastal areas of the Archipelago Sea and the Gulf of Finland. The situation in la......

There has been a sharp increase in cyanobacterial observations both on the coast and in the open sea. Observations have increased in both the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia. The cyanobacteria......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has remained stable or even diminished as a result of the cooler weather, and the situation in inland waters is now slightly better than on average. ......

As a result of the hot weather, water bodies have become warmer, which has led to an increase in cyanobacterial observations in sea areas. Cyanobacterial observations have become more common, especial......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in inland waters has increased slightly since last week. In sea areas, the cool water is keeping the amount of blue green algae relatively low for the time be......

Some cyanobacterial observations have been made in Finnish inland waters and sea areas, but the situation is typically calm for the early summer. At sea, cyanobacteria have been observed in sub-surfac......

A fresh review study shows that increased felling reduces carbon sequestered in forests significantly in both boreal and temperate regions. It is often argued that although increased harvesting does r......

European consumption causes biodiversity loss far away from the place of consumption and predominantly in countries of the Global South. BIO-TRADE research project sets out to contribute to protecting......

According to the dissertation, source separation of wastewater would significantly increase the efficiency of nutrient recovery from wastewater. Meanwhile, the climate impact of wastewater treatment w......

Information on the environmental impacts and health effects of plastics is still lacking, tells a recent study by the Finnish Environment Institute and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare. Pl......

In Finnish lakes and sea areas, no significant cyanobacterial observations have been made so far. The cool weather in early summer has not been conducive to the development of cyanobacterial blooms. I......

The cyanobacterial bloom risk is considerable in the Gulf of Finland, the Archipelago Sea and the southern parts of the Bothnian Sea. The risk this summer is at the same level as previous summers....
