BalticSurvey – a study in the Baltic Sea countries of public attitudes and use of the sea

Inspired by “The Economics of Climate Change – the Stern Review” (2007), the Nordic Ministers for the Environment jointly called for Stern-like reviews of the Nordic Seas, in order to gain a broad perspective of the socioeconomic consequences of human pressures on the marine environment. Following this call, several studies similar to that of the Stern Review were initiated for the Baltic Sea.

The report contains the basic results of BalticSurvey, a unique opinion poll conducted in all nine countries around the Baltic Sea.

It has identified how people around the Baltic Sea and parts of Skagerrak use the sea and what attitudes they have towards the marine environment and towards various measures for improving the environment.

It includes about 9,000 interviews carried out in April-June 2010. BalticSurvey is a subproject within the BalticSTERN research network.
