[en] This introductory chapter to our Environment International VSI does not need an abstract and therefore we just
include our recommendations below in order to proceed with the resubmission. Future work should examine
waterbirds as food web sentinels of multiple stressors as well as Baltic Sea food web dynamics of hazardous
substances and how climate change may modify it. Also, future work should aim at further extending the new
frameworks developed within BALTHEALTH for energy and contaminant transfer at the population level (Desforges
et al., 2018, Cervin et al., 2020/this issue Silva et al., 2020/this issue) and their long term effects on Baltic
Sea top predators, such as harbour porpoises, grey seals ringed seals, and white-tailed eagles. Likewise, the risk
evaluation conducted for PCB in connection with mercury on Arctic wildlife (Dietz et al., 2019, not a BONUS
BALTHEALTH product) could be planned for Baltic Sea molluscs, fish, bird and marine mammals in the future.
Finally, future efforts could include stressors not covered by the BONUS BALTHEALTH project, such as food web
fluxes, overexploitation, bycatches, eutrophication and underwater noise.

Commentary :
BONUS BALTHEALTH received funding from BONUS (Art. 185),
funded jointly by the EU, Innovation Fund Denmark (grants 6180-
00001B and 6180-00002B), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research (grant FKZ 03F0767A),
Academy of Finland (grant 311966) and Swedish Foundation for Strategic
Environmental Research (MISTRA). In some of the work, studies
were approved by the Danish Nature Agency (SVANA) and funding from
the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (supported under the
Wildlife Contract).
scite shows how a scientific paper has been cited by providing the context of the citation, a classification describing whether it supports, mentions, or contrasts the cited claim, and a label indicating in which section the citation was made.
