The Centre performs and coordinates the monitoring of the Baltic Sea, the Kuršių Marios Lagoon and the Nemunas Delta. It investigates extreme situations (fish decay, oil spills and water ”blooming”), carries out hydro - meteorological observations of littoral as well as coastal dynamics of the Baltic Sea and the Kuršių Marios Lagoon, performs special research of an impact of harbour dredging, hydro technical construction, soil dumping in the sea. The Centre participates in the international programme on the monitoring of the Baltic Sea (HELCOM) and in other international projects. The Centre is responsible for implementation of Water Framework Directive requirements in the marine waters of Lithuania. The data obtained by the Centre within the long - term monitoring had been stored in the Marine Environmental Data Fund. The Centre analyses the information on natural processes taking place in the Baltic Sea and the Kuršių Marios Lagoon as well as on the impact of an anthropogenic activity of the state of water and living organisms. The Centre prepares reports, submits information on the overall state of marine environment to the governmental institutions, to the general public.
