1. PROBAPS (Protection of the Baltic Sea: Benefits, Cost and Policy Instruments) Led by Kari Hyytiäinen (by Anni Huhtala 2009 - May 2011), MTT Agrifood Research Finland, (Finland)An economic ecological dynamic model is being developed focusing mainly on eutrophication and maritime transportation. The study BalticSUN (led by Heini Ahtiainen) estimated the benefits of reducing eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. The results were published in July 2012.2. BalticSurvey

Led by Berit Hasler, BNI/NERI (Denmark)
In cooperation with the Department of Economic Sciences at the University of Warsaw (Poland) and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Sweden) cost functions for measures to mitigate and abate eutrophication of the Baltic Sea are estimated.
