		The Baltic Sea is linked to the White Sea by the White Sea Canal and to the North Sea by the Kiel Canal.
		The Baltic Sea's salinity is much lower than the ocean's, as a result of abundant freshwater runoff from the surrounding land; indeed, runoff contributes roughly 1/40th its total volume.(Alhonen 88) It varies from 0.1% in the north to 0.6-0.8% in the center.
