Geography of the Baltic Sea Area The Baltic Sea is a relatively shallow inland sea surrounded by the countries of Northeastern Europe and Scandinavia. Its total area is about 370,000 km , and its volume about 21,000km . Then mean depth is only 55m, but the maximum depth reaches down to 459m. A total of nine countries border the sea: Denmark, Estonia , Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Sweden. The sea also receives surface water drainage from five other countries: Belarus, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Norway, and Ukraine. Almost 80 million people live within the drainage area. The Baltic Sea is connected to the North Sea through narrow and shallow sounds between Denmark and Sweden. The outlet consists of a series of basins separated by shallow sills which obstruct efficient water exchange. Consequently, it takes 25-35 years for all the water from the Baltic Sea to be replenished by water from the North Sea and beyond. The environmental conditions of the Baltic Sea are defined by the fresh water input from rivers and precipitation, and by the limited inflow of more saline water from the North Sea. Without the constant, albeit small influx of saline water through the Danish straits, the Baltic Sea would have been transformed into a gigantic fresh water lake long ago. A clear salinity gradient exists from the almost oceanic conditions in the northern Kattegart to the almost fresh water conditions in the Northern Bothnian Bay. A salinity barrier also exists between the surface to the seabed of the Baltic. Saline water, naturally heavier than fresh water, flows along the bottom of the sea. The fresh water on the surface of the sea does not mix appreciably with the saline water underneath. As a result, a marked stratification of salinity exists throughout the Baltic Sea at a depth of about 40-70 metres. The salinity barriers prevents the exchange of substances, i.e. oxygen, nutrients, and pollutants, between the two layers. The environmental conditions between the two layers are, thus, vastly different.

106. Report Of Estonia, 8 UNCSGN 2002 major steps taken regarding the official standardization of geographical names in estonia. The dictionary contained a list of geographical names. http://www.eki.ee/knn/ungegn/un8_ee.htm

Eighth United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names Berlin, 27 August - 5 September 2002 Item 4 of the Provisional Agenda REPORT OF ESTONIA* NATIONAL STANDARDIZATION In the period from 1998 till 2002 there have been several major steps taken regarding the official standardization of geographical names in Estonia. The Place Names Board of Estonia acting under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has continued the reform of the nomenclature of populated places. On January 1 st , 1998 a new official list came into force that contained 4,509 names with an increase of 1,089 names in comparison with the former list. A more modest increase of about 100 names was achieved on the next stage, one year later, and a few names were added to the list in the following years. Currently the list holds about 4,600 names. At various meetings of the Board also other matters were discussed, e.g. the list of names of islands, standardization of the names of land propery units, some individual names, etc. The Board also approved recommendations on the choice of names for new municipalities that might be formed during the planned administrative-territorial reform. All materials concerning the Place Names Board have been published at its website ( http://www.eki.ee/knn/
