Ship’S Ballast Water

AbstractThe introduction of invasive aquatic species in new environments has been identified as one of the four biggest threats to the world's oceans causing serious threats and harm to both ecology and human health. There is a major exchange of ship’s ballast water over longer distances between continents and regional seas, and it has been known for decades that ballast water transfers organisms to new ecosystems, where the strongest, most aggressive and adaptable species can survive and become invasive under favourable conditions. The focus of the research is to study available ballast water control technologies to determine their suitability and effectiveness in the reduction of harmful aquatic organisms and compounds in the Baltic Sea.

The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber L.) populations are considered to have reached densities causing substantial damage to forestry, e.g., in the south eastern Baltic Sea countries. The project Water Management in Baltic Forests WAMBAF of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region started in March 2016 and lasted for three years. WAMBAF committed to water management in Baltic forests and aimed to reduce nutrient and mercury export from forestry to streams, other water bodies towards the Baltic Sea. Three main topics like riparian forests, drainage system and beaver population / dam management that strongly related to mentioned issues. Protection of the Baltic Sea catchment is based on the protection of inland waters because the Sea gains the main inflow of nutrients and toxic compounds from inland watersThe Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber L.) populations are considered to have reached densities causing substantial damage to forestry, e.g., in the south eastern Baltic Sea countries.

The European Union is strongly supporting regional integration tailored to build country resilience towards climate change driven hazards. This cooperation is developed by launching and implementation of the EU regional strategies. Poland is strongly involved in realization of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region while Hungary in EU Strategy for the Danube Region. On one hand both regions have their own problems, however, on the other they face similar challenges due to climate change phenomena. This argument encourages to learn from each other. One of the key problems related to climate change is water management, including flood management and sufficient access to fresh water. Nowadays, southern region of Europe, like Danube Region including Hungary, is being more and more tackled by limited access to fresh water. This is not the case in central and northern Europe yet. However, the problem can emerge soon in the Baltic Sea Region if the climate change will be continued. There are already first symptoms of such scenario. Therefore, the main aim of the article is to present the Danube Region and Hungarian experiences of water management in the context of climate change phenomena. The results constitute a lesson learnt from this region that can be easily adopted to the current and future challenges of the Baltic Sea Region.

Statistical data on reserves, production and exports of Russian oil are provided in the article. The author pays special attention to the expansion of opportunities of sea oil transportation by construction of new oil terminals in the North-West of the country and first of all the largest terminal in Murmansk. In his opinion, one of the main problems in this sphere is prevention of ecological accidents in the process of oil transportation through the Baltic sea ports.

The study of paleogeography of lakes is an actual and important direction in modern science. As part of the study of lakes in the North-West of the Karelian Isthmus, this analysis will establish the dynamics of salinity of objects, which will allow to reconstruct changes in the level of the Baltic Sea in the Holocene.
