Caroline Raymond

Caroline Raymond is a marine environmental analyst at Stockholm University, known for her extensive work in sampling the seabed of the Baltic Sea in accordance with EU directives. Over the past decade, she has been tasked with monitoring the ecological status of Sweden's expansive coastline, which is divided into approximately 650 coastal water bodies. Her work has recently gained attention due to conflicts between environmental monitoring needs and military interests, particularly as the security situation in the Baltic region has deteriorated. Raymond emphasizes the importance of long-term data collection from specific locations to accurately track environmental changes, while navigating the challenges posed by military restrictions on seabed measurements.
