entry description
The historical abundance of marine life in Öresund created the very foundation for the prosperity of the region. However, the herring population eventually declined around the 1700s. As late as the 1980s, the Sound was almost dead due to heavy industrial pollution, non-regulated farming, uncontrolled raw sewage releases into the sea, abandoned fishing gear and heavy marine traffic.Slowly, over the years, there has been an awakening driven by scientists and researchers who have presented hard facts to politicians, stakeholders, enterprises and the general public. As a result, Öresund and the surrounding waters are undergoing a positive change today.
