NutriTrade Platform
This work package develops a voluntary nutrient trading platform which can be used to realise nutrient trades/offsets and nutrient footprint neutralisation between different parties such as municipalities, water utilities, industries, agricultural producers, NGOs, water protection associations, authorities and the general public.

Institutional Development
This work package analyzes the possibility of using flexible mechanisms, such as nutrient trading, in the Baltic Sea protection policy. It gathers and applies knowledge obtained in pilots and programs elsewhere; defines needs and potential for the Baltic; and outlines a roadmap for the efficient use of flexible instruments.
