Significant risk of blue-green algae blooms in Finnish seas this summer

The Finnish Environment Institute has issued a warning about the high risk of extensive blue-green algae blooms in the Baltic Sea regions surrounding Finland. The areas of greatest concern include the Gulf of Finland, the Archipelago Sea, and the southern and central parts of the Bothnian Sea.

Despite efforts to mitigate algae blooms, the nutrient levels in the seawater remain largely unchanged, continuing to support the growth of blue-green algae.
