Pharmaceutical residues in the Baltic Sea are causing concern as the full impact for the marine environment is still unknown. To reduce emissions, measures are needed on both national and regional level. The Baltic Sea Pharma platform brings together projects and stakeholders from the whole region to assist knowledge-sharing, increase effectiveness, streamlining activities and support regional policy development.

The Baltic Sea Pharma platform was launched at the EUSBSR Annual Forum in Berlin. The kick-off meeting in Riga 22 November 2017 has three main aims:

1. Facilitate contact and information exchange between PA Hazards projects addressing pharmaceuticals
2. Inform relevant regional stakeholders about the projects and how they can contribute to policy development (and vice versa)
3. Develop future platform work for added value and outreach
