Session Abstract: The Baltic Nest system is being developed and maintained at the Stockholm University as a tool to support decision-making at international negotiations regarding the Baltic Sea environment. The Baltic Nest covers the entire Baltic Sea area including its catchment, and designed as a web distributed system, which has access to large amounts of diverse types of environmental data allocated in different institutions, it is capable to run different kind of models, and provides users with an easy way to evaluate different modelled scenarios and environmental data. The system has already been used as a scientific basis for eutrophication segment of the Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) that was prepared by regional international environmental body (HELCOM) and signed in 2007 by all the riparian countries. Further usage of the system includes an adaptive management of BSAP, a support of the European Marine Strategy and Water Framework Directive, scenario studies of interactions between eutrophication, climate variations and fishery, etc. The decision support system Baltic Nest is publically available on-line (http://nest.su.se/nest/). The aim of the workshop is to briefly present different components of Baltic Nest and assist to participants in a “hands-on” experience of on-line usage of the system.
