Seabed in the Baltic Sea

Eckernfoerde Bay.
Greenpeace divers document the seabed and take water samples to gather data for their research on water pollution and dead zones caused by eutrophication in specific areas of the Baltic Sea. Aquatic eutrophication is often caused by high nutrient levels in the water which lead to oxygen depletion.
Condition: Oxygen deficiency due to iron monosulfides.

Unterwasserfotos des Meeresbodens in der Ostsee

Greenpeace Taucher nehmen Wasserproben und dokumentieren den Meeresboden, um Daten fuer ihre Forschung zu Wasserverschmutzung und sogenannten Toten Zonen, die durch die Eutrophierung verursacht werden, zu sammeln. Eutrophierung wird oft verursacht durch hohe Naehrstoffmengen im Wasser, die durch eine Kette von natuerlichen Prozessen zu Sauerstoffmangel fuehren.
Zustand: Sauerstoff-Mangel durch FeS (Eisenmonosulfid,
Schwefeleisen) im oberflächennahen Bereich.
