	Baltic Sea Area
		The Baltic Sea is unique: the largest body of brackish (low-salinity) body of water in the world, it is also distinguished by its division into a series of basins of varying depths, separated by shallow areas or sills.
		The largest of the ten rivers flowing to the Baltic are the Vistula (draining the territories of Belarus, Poland, Slovak Republic and Ukraine) and the Oder/Odra (draining the territories of the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland).
		The areas of the Baltic Sea receiving excessive amounts of untreated or insufficiently treated municipal wastewater are the Gulf of Finland, the Gulf of Riga and the Eastern Gotland and Bomholm basins.
