Marine and coastal ecosystems are under unprecedented change globally, mainly attributed to already recognized human-induced factors such as overexploitation of ocean resources, climate change and env......

The cyanobacterial situation in the past summer has varied according to changing weather conditions. Cyanobacterial levels in sea areas and lakes peaked during the hottest periods of the summer in mid......

The number of cyanobacterial observations has remained stable throughout Finland. As a result of warm weather, lakes are slightly warmer than average, which helps maintain the growth of cyanobacteria.......

The cyanobacterial situation has deteriorated from previous weeks due to warm weather. Cyanobacterial blooms have now been observed more than average in inland waters, even though lake surface tempera......

The cyanobacterial situation in lakes has deteriorated in some places since last week, although the national situation in lakes remains calm. In sea areas, the number of surface blooms has decreased, ......

The cyanobacterial situation has improved slightly since last week. The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has diminished as a result of the windy and rainy weather, and the poor cyanobact......

There are now cyanobacterial occurrences in all sea areas. Abundant cyanobacteria have been observed especially in the coastal areas of the Archipelago Sea and the Gulf of Finland. The situation in la......

There has been a sharp increase in cyanobacterial observations both on the coast and in the open sea. Observations have increased in both the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia. The cyanobacteria......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has remained stable or even diminished as a result of the cooler weather, and the situation in inland waters is now slightly better than on average. ......

As a result of the hot weather, water bodies have become warmer, which has led to an increase in cyanobacterial observations in sea areas. Cyanobacterial observations have become more common, especial......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in inland waters has increased slightly since last week. In sea areas, the cool water is keeping the amount of blue green algae relatively low for the time be......

The main goal of the Blue Night project is to generate young people's interest in marine science and inspire them to pursue a career in marine research. While young people are the main target gr...

Some cyanobacterial observations have been made in Finnish inland waters and sea areas, but the situation is typically calm for the early summer. At sea, cyanobacteria have been observed in sub-surfac......

Information on the environmental impacts and health effects of plastics is still lacking, tells a recent study by the Finnish Environment Institute and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare. Pl......

In Finnish lakes and sea areas, no significant cyanobacterial observations have been made so far. The cool weather in early summer has not been conducive to the development of cyanobacterial blooms. I......

The Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) has started reporting observations of summer 2022 cyanobacterial blooms this week. No cyanobacterial observations have yet been made in Finnish sea areas or in......

A comprehensive review of the effects of climate change on the Baltic Sea has been completed. According to this review, the temperature, ice conditions, oxygen concentration and also the ecosystem of ......

We focus on hazardous substances in the marine environment, microbial communities in polar seas and sea ice, degradation of bioplastics, and processes related to biogeochemical cycles. Our main exper...
