The Chesapeake Bay Program The Chesapeake Bay—the largest estuary in the United States is an incredibly complex ecosystem that includes important habitats and food webs. It also endures an array of assaults from the air, water and land. The watershed's worst problem is nutrient pollution, which fuels the growth of algae blooms that impact water quality and aquatic life. Bay Program partners are working to reduce pollution from multiple sources and restore water quality in the Bay and its tributaries.
Baltic Agriculture Run-off Reduction Program The BAAP is an environmental and agricultural co-operation programme designed to improve the water quality of the Baltic Sea and of local surface and groundwater bodies by reducing the leakage of nutrients (run-off) from agriculture and enhance a sustainable agricultural development in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Northwest Russia (Kaliningrad and St.Petersburg regions)
Baltic Sea Regional Project Thirty partner institutions in five countries - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia – addressed the environmental degradation of the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea Regional Project, closed in 2007, aimed at: strengthening the management of Baltic Sea coastal and marine environments through regional cooperation, reducing pollution from non-point sources ( farms, agricultural activities etc.), and increasing sustainable agriculture and fisheries.
Great Lakes Basin Program The Great Lakes Commission is a binational agency that promotes the orderly, integrated and comprehensive development, use and conservation of the water and related natural resources of the Great Lakes basin and St. Lawrence River.
Caspian Environmental Program The Caspian Sea is the biggest enclosed body of water on Earth. It struggles now with the overall decline in environmental quality, and poses threat to human health. The CEP aims at Sustainable development of the Caspian environment, including living resources and water quality, protecting human health and ecological integrity for the sake of future generations.
