HELCOM Working Group on Reduction of Pressures from Sea-based Sources

The HELCOM Working Group on Reduction of Pressures from Sea-based Sources (WG Sea-based pressures) provides the necessary technical basis to the work on inputs of nutrients and hazardous substances from both diffuse and point sources on land, including follow-up of the implementation of the HELCOM nutrient reduction scheme.

The group focuses on developing solutions to the policy-relevant questions and needs. Besides nutrients and hazardous substances, Pressure WG also has marine litter and underwater noise in its portfolio.

Since September 2014, ​Pressure WG has incorporated all functions of the former HELCOM Land​ Working Group.
