HELCOM interactive map
It is great to use up-to-date info about Baltic Sea in the classroom. This interactive map can be a great tool for individual or group work in classroom (in biology, geography, history, English class etc). Find out more, how to use this map to learn more about Baltic Sea.
( http://maps.helcom.fi/website/mapservice/)
While learning about sustainable development goals (especially 6, 12, 13,14, 15), and just before you to start with practical BSP programmes (for example the coast watch), we reccommend to use HELCOM interactive map to grasp the serious situation of our joint sea.
1) Open the map ( http://maps.helcom.fi/website/mapservice/), agree with terms.
2) Then use the left side bar to filter out what exactly are you going to talk about.
