Regional climate work supports and brings together local actors in the implementation of practical climate action. The Finnish Environment Institute together with the Natural Resources Institute Finla......

The marine research vessel Aranda is on the southeast side of Utö this week. A preliminary investigation of the tugboat Simson, which sank in 1978, is underway for a possible oil removal operation....

The cyanobacterial situation in the past summer has varied according to changing weather conditions. Cyanobacterial levels in sea areas and lakes peaked during the hottest periods of the summer in mid......

Doctoral dissertation examines livestock breeding from the perspective of social science. Breeding goals impact cattle, dairy farmers, and the relations between farmers and cows. Livestock breeding cu......

The number of cyanobacterial observations has remained stable throughout Finland. As a result of warm weather, lakes are slightly warmer than average, which helps maintain the growth of cyanobacteria.......

Approximately 24,470 Great Cormorant nests were counted in Finland in the summer of 2022. The size of the entire nesting population in Finland has only fluctuated by a few per cent since 2015. However......

European countries are taking action to promote the circular economy of plastics and to prevent their negative impacts. The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE examined the selection of measures in dif......

The cyanobacterial situation has deteriorated from previous weeks due to warm weather. Cyanobacterial blooms have now been observed more than average in inland waters, even though lake surface tempera......

The cyanobacterial situation in lakes has deteriorated in some places since last week, although the national situation in lakes remains calm. In sea areas, the number of surface blooms has decreased, ......

According to a new study, the growing White-tailed Eagle population affects both the location of the Great Cormorant’s nesting colonies and their breeding performance. The White-tailed Eagle plays an ......

The poor cyanobacterial situation at sea has improved somewhat, small amounts of cyanobacteria in lakes (syke.fi) In the Gulf of Finland, cyanobacterial observations are centred on the ope......

The cyanobacterial situation has improved slightly since last week. The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has diminished as a result of the windy and rainy weather, and the poor cyanobact......

There are now cyanobacterial occurrences in all sea areas. Abundant cyanobacteria have been observed especially in the coastal areas of the Archipelago Sea and the Gulf of Finland. The situation in la......

There has been a sharp increase in cyanobacterial observations both on the coast and in the open sea. Observations have increased in both the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia. The cyanobacteria......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has remained stable or even diminished as a result of the cooler weather, and the situation in inland waters is now slightly better than on average. ......

As a result of the hot weather, water bodies have become warmer, which has led to an increase in cyanobacterial observations in sea areas. Cyanobacterial observations have become more common, especial......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in inland waters has increased slightly since last week. In sea areas, the cool water is keeping the amount of blue green algae relatively low for the time be......

Some cyanobacterial observations have been made in Finnish inland waters and sea areas, but the situation is typically calm for the early summer. At sea, cyanobacteria have been observed in sub-surfac......

A fresh review study shows that increased felling reduces carbon sequestered in forests significantly in both boreal and temperate regions. It is often argued that although increased harvesting does r......
