Baltic Sea contains a dark legacy of ca. 50 000 tons of dumped chemical warfare agents (CWA) and more than 200 000 tons conventional munitions originating from the I and II WWs. In addition, c.a. 45000 tons of CWAs were dumped in Skagerrak. There is a constant release of contaminants, either due to corrosion of the shells or due to anthropogenic disturbance. 
​
The question which DAIMON takes up is how to proceed with the identified and mapped warfare objects. Remediation or no action are subject to heated disputes among the decision-making bodies. Since there cannot be a general answer to this question, DAIMON will develop tools to support the Baltic Sea Region governments and companies in case-to-case decision-making.

DAIMON (Decision Aid for Marine Munitions) is an international project consisting of partners from Poland, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Lithuania and Russia, and cooperating experts worldwide, united by the goal to solve the problem of underwater munitions.
This project is part-financed by the EU INTERREG Baltic Sea Region Programme 2014-2020.
