We humans have upset the balance in the Baltic Sea. Now the Swedish government has taken on the task of restoring the ecosystem – by shooting more seals and cormorants. But are seals really responsible for the decline in herring and pike, and are cormorants eating all the perch? We join in as a few cormorants are dissected and the contents of their stomachs reveal something completely different.
Our planet relies on the oceans as climate regulators. At the same time, the effects of our emissions are most evident in the oceans. Today, eutrophication, climate change, ocean acidification, and invasive species are some of the challenges the oceans face.
