The objective of the project was the protection of the marine biodiversity in the Baltic Sea. The creation of the EU network of protected areas Natura 2000 in the marine area is assessed as the most important tool for attaining this purpose. The scientific information obtained during the project was used for the marine Natura 2000 site determination to establish the protection status of the three Baltic States. The international project with the activities in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia gathered together national scientific institutions, non-governmental organizations, and experts of these countries, addressing issues related to the protection of marine areas.
