SEABASED – ett projekt för att minska övergödningen i Östersjön

Avsikten med projektet SEABASED (Seabased measures in Baltic Sea Nutrient Management) är att minska övergödningens effekter på Östersjön. I projektet provas och utvärderas åtgärder som syftar till att minska övergödningen. Projektet leds av John Nurminen Foundation. En av de åtgärder som provats är att fiska storspigg (spigg) med små fiskebåtar och snörpvad. Forskarna har dock gjort det väldigt…

SniperSpy has an escape plan

Nothing is more wholesome than plotting a murder together. Change my mind.

This is how I'll address the Administrator-issue. If she starts causing trouble, trouble she shall get. Maybe they won't need to go there, maybe they will. Who knows!

You may not have noticed but I quite like these in-bed scenes ;)

The Baltic Sea is small and shallow (average depth is 55 meters (180 feet)) so it is extremely vulnerable to pollution. Its surface area is only 377,000 square kilometers (146,000 square miles) while it borders 9 countries.

Thank you so much for your support, every reblog means so much to me each and every time!

Model of HMS Resolution (c) John Nurminen Foundation

The resolution, James Cook's flagship on his second and third voyage, was launched in Whitby in 1770 as a coal ship "Marquis of Granby". She was acquired by the Royal Navy in 1771 and renamed Drake. It was largely rebuilt at the Deptford naval shipyard before the first expedition. Before the Drake set sail, it was renamed on the recommendation of the King and the Earl of Sandwich to avoid insulting the Spaniards with a ship called Drake, as it was Francis Drake who helped destroy the Spanish Armada. So she left Plymouth in 1772 as resolution

#OURSEA: Help the Moomins Save the Baltic Sea

#OURSEA: Help the Moomins Save the Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea and its vibrant culture are in grave danger

Sometimes referred to as the great ‘creation myth of moominology’, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945) was the first of Tove Jansson’s eight Moomin novels, introducing the world to the extraordinary inhabitants of Moominland.

To celebrate the book’s 75th anniversary in 2020, Moomin Characters Ltd., along with its partners, is launching

Daily Finnish - 18 - 19 July

I got a bit behind with updates. I was at work on Thursday so I didn’t have time for much, I did some archive reading. Yesterday I revised more from Teach Yourself and watched some Winnie the Pooh eps on YT. I also found my “bad mood” book that I bought last time in Helsinki (in Finnish), which will be good for reading and writing practice :D I was kinda tired in the evening so I looked through it a bit and I went to bed early so didn’t have time for much. I translated two news items from Thu/Fri instead of the usual list. I’ll try some more practice this weekend and also prepare for my trip.

Selkouutiset

Muumit alkavat suojella Itämerta. Muumien kampanja Itämeren puolesta alkaa ensi vuonna, joka on muumien juhlavuosi. Silloin on kulunut 75 vuotta siitä, kun Tove Janssonin ensimmäinen muumikirja ilmestyi. Meri on aina ollut tärkeä teema muumikirjoissa. Siksi muumien avulla halutaan kerätä miljoona euroa Itämeren suojeluun, kertoo Moomin Characters -firman johtaja Sophia Jansson. Itämeri on likainen, ja se tarvitsee nopeasti apua. Muumien keräysrahat menevät John Nurmisen säätiölle, joka kehittää Itämeren suojelua.

The Moomins start protecting the Baltic Sea. The campaign starts next year, which is the Moomin’s celebration year. It will be 75 years since the first book was published. The sea was always an important theme in the books. They want to collect a million euros to protect the Baltic Sea, says Sophia Janson, director of the Moomin Characters company. The Baltic Sea is polluted and needs quick help. The money will go to the John Nurminen Foundation which works on protecting the Baltic Sea.

Viikonloppuna juhlitaan isoa tapahtumaa ihmisen historiassa: Ihminen laskeutui Kuun pinnalle ensimmäisen kerran tasan 50 vuotta sitten. Amerikkalainen avaruusalus Apollo 11 laskeutui Kuuhun heinäkuun 20. päivä vuonna 1969. Astronautti Neil Armstrong oli ensimmäinen ihminen, joka käveli Kuun pinnalla. Kuukävelyn 50-vuotisjuhlia on vietetty jo monta päivää. Esimerkiksi Washingtonin avaruusmuseossa paljastettiin Armstrongin avaruuspuku.

An important historical event is celebrated this weekend: people first landing on the moon 50 years ago. The American spacecraft Apollo 11 landed on the Moon on 20th July 1969. Neil Armstrong astronaut was the first human who walked on the moon. The anniversary is being celebrated already for many days. E.g. in Washington’s space museum Armstrong’s spacesuit is exhibited.

Baltic Sea Day and Some Memories

Last week we celebrated the Baltic sea. Baltic Sea Day (Itämeripäivä in Finnish) was founded by John Nurminen foundation and this is the second year the day has been celebrated in Finland. Baltic Sea is very important for us Finns. It has been and continues to be an important waterway to Continental Europe and other Nordic countries, and provides Finland with a beautiful coastline and archipelagos. The Baltic Sea has a diverse and unique ecosystem, which unfortunately is in danger due to pollution. One of the main goals of the Baltic Sea day is to raise awareness about the ecological problems the Baltic Sea is currently facing and inspire people to help. 

With our project, we aim to protect our water resources from harmful substances. This includes the Baltic Sea. Pharmaceuticals can be very destructive in aquatic environments and hopefully by making it easier to detect macrolide antibiotics in wastewater we can prevent them from ending up in natural waters. In addition, we can all do small things to protect our natural waters, such as avoiding single use plastics or eating locally grown food. 

To celebrate the Baltic Sea day our team members have shared some pictures and memories about the Baltic Sea. Even though we might not always remember it, the Baltic Sea is an important part of our lives.

1. Enjoying the warm day and jumping from the rocks in the Finnish archipelago, Kustavi. 2. Late-night fishing on the Porvoo coast. 3. First time seeing the Sea, Łeba Poland. 4. Winter morning walk at the coast of Helsinki. 5. A new family member is exploring the sea in the Finnish archipelago, on the island of Hjortronharu. 6. Summer night in Nauvo. 7. Crossing the Gulf of Bothnia. 8. Looking for tiny fishes in Helsinki.

More information about the Baltic Sea day can be found at https://itameripaiva.fi/. More tips to help to save the sea can be found at https://johnnurmisensaatio.fi/en/baltic-sea-protection/tips-to-save-the-baltic-sea/.

Viking Line Donates 40,000 Euros For Baltic Sea’s Environmental Protection

Viking Line has donated 40,000 euros to environmental efforts to protect the Baltic Sea. The donation, given to four different environmental organizations, comes from the sale of plastic carrier bags on board Viking Line’s vessels. The plastic bags are made from recycled plastic, with part of the material coming from our own on-board recycling.

Among the activities to be funded by the donation are information campaigns, environmental work and the maintenance of recycling centres and lavatories in the Baltic Sea archipelagos.

Viking Line’s successful environmental campaign with plastic bags has also continued this year. Through the campaign, part of the proceeds from the sale of every plastic bag in the Company’s on-board duty- and tax-free shops is being donated to environmental work to help the Baltic Sea. This year, the decision was made to support the following organizations: the Baltic Sea Action Group (BSAG), Keep the Archipelago Tidy Association in Finland, the John Nurminen Foundation and the Baltic Sea Fund. Viking Line emphasizes the benefits of working directly in partnership with these environmental organizations since they are focused on achieving visible and concrete results in the local environment.

To celebrate Finland’s one hundred years of independence, Viking Line wants to collect funds to protect the Baltic Sea and finance related research. During the centenary, Viking Line also wants to spotlight its environmental work through various efforts and campaigns in order to encourage other Finnish companies and organizations that work on the Baltic Sea and in the local environment to take part – together we can achieve more.

“Viking Line’s vessels sail daily in the Baltic Sea archipelagos, and we want to shoulder our responsibility for the environment at different levels. Along with our own environmental efforts, we want to support the organizations that work concretely to protect the archipelagos,” says Johanna Boijer-Svahnström, Viking Line’s Vice President of Corporate Communciations.

The plastic bag campaign was launched in the spring of 2014. The duty-free bags are made of recycled plastic and this year featured a brand-new design

Buuuuuut at least they sapped the camera this time..! That's something, no?

Our first glance at Helen and she looks just as pissed as she always does. She hates when she cannot follow the bloodbath but luckily Miss P. is there to direct her attention elsewhere.

SniperSpy encounters a language barrier

Who knew the language barrier would present itself this way? Spy is just bitter he can't understand what his fiancé is saying since he takes such pride in his own language skills. Admit your defeat, J!

Also they got mail! It's always such a joy to be remembered by someone ^^

This idea came to me brainstorming with @running-in-blind on Tumblr. This is why Sniper doesn't use Australian slang in the comics. No one would understand what he's saying.

SniperSpy spills the beans

Starting the Pride Month off with these two lovable morons.

Well, it's out. Now they know. No turning back.

I really enjoyed drawing this, Demo, Pyro and Scout work so well together. Our hilariously chaotic trio where the drunken Scotsman is the voice of reason.

Spy uses the opportunity to be an ass. What else is in the news?

Charity of June 2022

I know I've been meaning to make this for soooo long but I've been busy with the pages. But here it is, their wedding suits in my style! Their wedding attires were designed by Vesper Nova

The fully coloured/shaded image is now on my Patreon

I also know I'm super late with this, but I'm announcing the charity of June 2022 here as well.

The charity of June 2022 will be John Nurminen Foundation

The Baltic Sea is small and shallow (average depth is 55 meters (180 feet)) so it is extremely vulnerable to pollution. Its surface area is only 377,000 square kilometers (146,000 square miles) while it borders 9 countries.

I chose this charity because it has been internationally recognized for their hard and outstanding work to protect and preserve the Baltic Sea and its heritage. Every little helps.

Underutnyttjad inhemsk fisk kan hjälpa Östersjön att återhämta sig

Underutnyttjad inhemsk fisk kan hjälpa Östersjön att återhämta sig

Östersjön lider av ett överskott av näringsämnen (övergödning) som påverkar det känsliga ekosystemet och får direkt effekt på fiskbestånd, marint liv och vattenkvalité. Efter ett omfattande arbete för att minska näringsutsläppen från land, måste vi nu också ta itu med det överskott av näringsämnen som har ansamlats i Östersjön under de senaste decennierna.

Fiske är en effektiv metod för att…
