Review of an exceptional year: Baltic Sea status report 2014 for the first time available in English

The yearly IOW assessment of the hydrographic-hydrochemical status of the Baltic Sea is an important component of the HELCOM monitoring programme. This year, for the first time, IOW has published the report for 2014 in English as a service specifically targeted at international experts and stakeholders in the Baltic littoral states. Especially the documentation of last year’s exceptional salt water inflow events is of particular interest for the Baltic expert community.
