The BSAP Fund was established by Sweden and Finland in 2010 and has since then provided EUR 16 million to over 80 projects across the Baltic Sea countries.
Although 97% of the Baltic Sea is still impacted by eutrophication, the sea has experienced substantial environmental improvements thanks to various efforts in the catchment area. For example, the BSAP Fund has financed project preparation for several wastewater treatment plants across the Baltic Sea area. The BSAP Fund has also made significant contributions towards fostering a healthy and resilient Baltic Sea ecosystem. About 80% of funded projects address biodiversity conservation or pollution prevention.
Upon completion, projects financed by the BSAP Fund need to submit a final report. The executive summaries of those reports are published on this page.
More information about projects financed by the Fund can be found on our Financed projects page (facility: “Baltic Sea Action Plan Fund (BSAP)”).
