Methane from the exploded Nord Stream pipeline has spread to large parts of the southern Baltic Sea. Over 20 marine protected areas are affected. This is shown by a new study. – How long the methane stayed in the sea and how far it was able to spread was quite striking to me, says Bastien Queste, associate professor in oceanography and co-author of the study.
Swedish eel fishing will be completely stopped during the coming winter months. The greatest impact will be in the Öresund, where eels usually wander past on their way out of the Baltic Sea during this period.
