Baltic Sea Day is observed on 27 August. On Wednesday, 26 August 2026, Crown Princess Victoria visited a mussel farm off Dalarö in the Stockholm archipelago together with the organisations Race for the Baltic and Ecopelag.
Mussel farming is a resource-efficient way of both producing food and contributing to a healthier Baltic Sea. Mussels feed on the nutrients already present in the sea and require neither feed, fertiliser nor fresh water to grow.
As mussels filter the water, they absorb nitrogen and phosphorus, which are then removed from the sea when the mussels are harvested. In this way, nutrients that contribute to eutrophication in the Baltic Sea can be returned to land and turned into a resource in the form of food and feed.
Since 2016, Ecopelag has been working to develop large-scale mussel farming in the Baltic Sea, with the aim of combining tangible environmental benefits with the sustainable use of the sea’s resources.
The show must go on...
ReplyDeleteI don’t understand the intention or meaning of your comment?
DeleteRidiculous reply, full of envy. I think, Victoria does a good job and invests a lot of interest, energy and work in her job as future queen of Sweden.
DeleteIf shouldering enormous pressures, expectations, relentless public exposure while performing all possible engagements connected to her role as the Crown Princess of Sweden is a show, well, let me say your comment sounds kind of off- skelter.
Delete* off- skilter
Deleteoff- kilter
DeleteThat’s a marvellous initiative. Salmon farming is highly destructive to native fauna and polluting so the environment and the water can suffer, and there are those mussels leading the way. Fantastic isn’t it, how a Royal showing up to showcase something can educate us in a way that perhaps an extensive news article may miss.
ReplyDeleteGreat, comment thank you for the information, on the native fauna
DeleteAnon. 21:10. I think You overexaggarate the royals' impact on the public. If a person cares about some initiative, he/she would learn about/support it regardless of the royal showing up to it or not.
DeleteNot quite true 6:08. I cannot learn about things unless I know they are happening. We have so much information thrown at us each day that our brains naturally filter for what’s important. When I see Victoria associated with something, my brain gives that information a moment longer. After that I can go learn more. Therefore a Royal or other esteemed person being associated with a good cause is one way to give that cause more effective public exposure.
DeleteWhat 'show' is that ?
ReplyDeleteVictoria in her element, outdoors and smiling!
ReplyDelete. CP looks like she’s really enjoying this unusual engagement. She’s such an asset to Sweden
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she is having fun. She loves the outdoors. I like her in casual outfits.
