Site Description
The area of the Bothnian Bay LTSER platform is located in the coastal area of the Bothnian Bay between the cities of Tornio in the north and Vaasa in the south including the terrestrial and aquatic natural, semicultural and cultural habitats in river catchments. In biogeographical and socioeconomic terms the area can be seen as a bridge between northern and southern components, which is reflected both in its rich and unique flora and fauna as well as special socioeconomic structure.
