 Water Quality
The common programme Water Quality of the Baltic Sea has now been an integrated part of UNESCO's Baltic Sea Project for ten years. The idea of the project came from a workshop for teachers in Kiel, 1990.
Soon a protocol was created by teachers from Nynåshamn Gymnasium, Sweden, and Rungsted Gymnasium, Denmark, and although some minor changes have been made during the years, the main idea of the programme is the same: to bring students out to their local coast to study the life and the state of the sea, to train the students in collecting observations in a systematic way, to communicate the observations internationally, to give the students possibilities to compare their observations with similar observations from other places around the Baltic Sea and over time at the same place.
The programme and the methods are described in Learners' Guide No 1: Working for better Water Quality in the Baltic Sea. All schools and other educational institutions associated to The Baltic Sea Project are welcome to join the programme.
