Baltic Sea Day 2015
XVI International Environmental Forum “Baltic Sea Day” will be held on 18-20 March 2015 in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The Forum has traditionally been a good alternative platform which allows for global as well as regional environmental dialogue without any restrictions.
Baltic Sea Day, with its participants from all sectors of the Baltic society is ready to continue the fruitful cooperation for ahealthy Baltic Sea in the best traditions of our big Baltic family. The Forum has been successfully organized in 15 consecutive years.
