Blekinge Arkipelag do several innovative and effectful actions to restore running waters and wetlands, minimizing nutrient outflow to the Baltic, keeping our biosphere reserve clean from plastic and other marine garbage, making tourism businesses more sustainable, making our 8 golf courts develop more sustainable water management, using mussel farms to decrease internal nutrient load in the Baltic, inspiring farmers to use new technique for energy and watermanagemant, in cooperation with universities and scientists trying to be ahead of conflicts about the landscape´s functions - making better grounds for regional political decisions. All these actions are made with both a authority and grass root perspective, where we engage different actors of the biosphere reserve Blekinge Arkipelag to take part in the sustainable development of our region.
