Abstract

This chapter sheds light on the book’s main findings and recommendations of the chapters presented in the book. In addition, an update is made from the recent published results of research work on quality and management of water resources in Baltic Sea Countries. Additionally, a set of recommendations for future research work is pointed out to direct future research towards water resources in Baltic Sea Countries. Additionally, we added a special chapter to the conclusions section on “Estonian Wetlands and the Water Framework Directive” due to its uniqueness nature.
