Enjoying our beaches – without polluting them Researchers from Kiel present first combined systematic study on litter in the micro and macro spectrum on Schleswig-Holstein's Baltic Sea beaches Arctic ice algae heavily contaminated with microplastics Melosira arctica has ten times higher concentration of plastic particles than surrounding seawater Crisis in the cold Researchers formulate the "Berlin Statement" to protect polar regions from particularly persistent pollutants “North Sea Wrecks” – European research project presents results What impact do rusting World War II munitions have on the marine environment? Researchers from the EU project North Sea Wrecks (NSW) dived to World War II wrecks in the North Sea and analyzed samples. Toxic Legacies of War – North Sea Wrecks Symposium Presentation of results so far and discussion with scientists, politicians and the interested public on how to deal with this challenge in the future and demonstrate the risk assessment tool developed in the project.
