A scientific substantiation of the recommendations of HELCOM to reduce the nutrient load on the Gulf of Finland from Russia

Abstract

Improvement of the mathematical model of nutrient load in the catchment area was carried out. Now the model allows to evaluate changes in the removal of nutrients, depending on the optimization of agricultural production. Quotas to reduce the nutrient load between different parts of the catchment area of the Russian Gulf of Finland using the recommendations of the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan are promulgated.
