BalticReed

Although nutrient load from land-based sources to the Baltic Sea has reduced significantly, good ecological status of the coastal waters has not been reached, partly due to land-based load, and partly because of internal loading from the bottom sediments. The BalticReed Project will uptake nutrients from the Baltic Sea, improve water quality and restore the coastal habitats by harvesting dense reed beds, and, in addition, recycle the reed biomass and nutrients to be utilized on land.

Harvesting of coastal reed beds can cost-efficiently remove significant amounts of nutrients from coastal waters, as one ha reed bed contains approx. 5-10kg of P and 50-100 kg N. It has been estimated that in Sweden and Finland there are over 300 000 ha coastal reed beds, and the estimated cost per reduction has been estimated being approx. 30 – 60 €/kgP and 2,1- 3,75 €/kgN, based on previous local level pilots.
