An amendment to the Swedish Continental Shelf Ordinance will enter into force on 1 July 2022. The amendment means that, with a few exceptions, the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) will become the decision-making authority for applications relating to surveying of the continental shelf.

SGU has since 2003 investigated the levels of metals and organic contaminants in sediments on the Swedish sea floor, both in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The results, including the latest survey in 2020/2021, are now published in a new report. Among the results are unexpectedly high levels of fluorinated compounds, so called PFASs, in the Gulf of Bothnia.
