The book on Baltic Sea biodiversity released by HELCOM

The Helsinki Commission releases a book on the Baltic Sea biodiversity - "The Baltic Sea - Discovering the sea of life". Click here to download it as a .pdf file (about 7Mb).

"No other sea in the world is quite like the Baltic. (...) This book aims to take readers on an armchair tour of the sea, to discover life forms that live so near us, but yet are still so unfamiliar to most of us. This journey starts in the air, where we soar over the sea in the company of birds, and ultimately dive into the water to meet creatures that few of us ever have the chance to see eye to eye."
