Pollution of the Baltic Sea I have chosen to write my science report about pollution of the Baltic Sea. Nowadays it is a big problem to people who live in the marine region. In this report, I want to know the reason of this issue and how could we solve it. High population density, intensive agricultural production and other human activities have caused this high level pollution of the Baltic Sea. The shipment of crude oil has grown from 45 million tons to 175 million tons and this only by 10 years. Its condition is a challenge for the nine coastal states and their populations - there are 90 million people living in this catchment area. [1] The sources of marine pollution are municipal and industrial waste inputs directly into the sea or rivers, and atmospheric inputs mainly from traffic and farming. Originating from cellulose producing and from paper mills, large amounts of poisonous chlorinated compounds are ...
Estonia is divided into 15 counties which are divided in turn into 207 rural municipalities and 47 towns. The Republic of Estonia, the northernmost and smallest of the three Baltic countries, is located on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea in the north-east of Europe. Lying between East and West, it has served as junction of international trade routes for centuries. Moreover, Estonian neighbours are Russia and Latvia. Estonia is accessible, both from a logistical and social point of view - Tallinn is within 3 hours flight from major European capitals and the power distance is very low. In the west, the coast of Estonia is washed by the Baltic Sea. It is a land of great natural beauty with a long and varied history and rich culture. That's their nature especially concerning national symbols such as their music or their language. Even if Estonia is tiny, it still offers a breathtaking amount of nature. It is safe or safer than most pl...
Summary The present summary is based on the book "Northern Europe’s seas. Norther Europe’s environment" by Britt Aniansson. Oceans and seas are polluted every day by different substances that reach the waters from different sources on land and at the sea. The author points out four main problems in the marine environment. One of the main problems is the chemical pollution which is caused by natural or man- made halogenated compounds, pesticides, dioxins, chlorinated organic materieals and so on. These compounds are causing deformage in marine animals and are storaged in their fatty tissues. They have also been found in organisms throughout the world oceans because they are dispersed quickly by winds and currents. Another problem that affects the marine life is excess phosphorus and nitrogen flow into the sea from towns, factories and other man-made sources which cause intense alg...

Public International Law is a system of law, different from domestic law. Why is this system unique? Usually law regulates relations between people, people and the state etc, PIL regulates relations between states. Thats why PIL is important for international relation students. PIL influences the life of everybody, it doesn't regulate people directly but indirectly (through the decisions of the states), because it's everywhere. It's like air. E.g. when you want to send a letter to Brazil, you put a stamp from your own country and send it from your post office and the letter gets delivered. Why is this so easy, because there are certain international conventions that regulate postal services. E.g. traffic signs are almost the same everywhere, why? Because of certain int conventions that require the states to have more or less unified traffic signs. States apply international regulations to national regulations and they ...
KESKKONNAKAITSE ÜLDKURSUS Umbes 5000 aastat tagasi Eesti alale rännanud hõimud suhtusid loodusesse austusega. Neil olid pühad paigad, mida hoolega hoiti: hiied, allikad, kivid, puud, jõed ja järved. Eestis on tänini teada ligikaudu 550 hiit ja enam kui 2000 muud pühapaika. 1297 Metsaraiekeeld 4 saarel Tallinna lähistel, Eric VI Menved. Keelu mõte oli küll hoida saarte metsi kui meremärke, kuid kaudselt aitas see kaasa ka loodushoiule. 1642 Sõmerpalu talupoegade rahutused Võhandu jõel (Pühajõgi) lõhuti pais ja veski. Protestiti Pühajõe (Võhandu) voolu tõkestamise vastu veskipaisudega. Arvati, et voolu tõkestades vihastati jões elavat Pikset, mistõttu kahel eelnenud aastal oli maad tabanud ikaldus. 1644 Johann Gutslaff "Lühike teade ja seletus vääralt pühaks nimetatud jõest Liivimaal Võhandus” 1664 Rootsi metsaseadus laienes Eesti alale (säästev metsaraie, mets-õunapuude, pihlakate, tammede, toomingate säi...
