=== THE PRESENT ===
;FORMATION OF THE BALTIC SEA
Gradual warming of the climate and the latest retreat of ice from the areas of Europe and North America started about 12,000 years ago. This was the end of the most recent ice age and beginning of the postglacial period, or the Holocene. The Holocene has also been termed [[:en:w:Anthropocene|Anthropocene]], the epoch of humans, as it encompasses the entire recorded history, the birth of great civilisations, and technological development. The world of the Holocene is today’s world. Over the last ten thousand years, the ocean level has risen by up to 35 metres, while ground level in the Northern Hemisphere, especially in areas that have emerged from under ice sheets, has risen by up to 180 metres as a result of rebounding from the weight of ice sheets.
;MODERN MARINE ANIMALS
Climate in the Holocene has been relatively stable. No significant developments have taken place in the fauna or flora during the Holocene but just the distribution ranges of animals and plants have shifted either southwards or northwards according to changes in climatic conditions. The Baltic Sea is poor in species because its water salinity is too high for freshwater species but too low for oceanic ones. Various algae and small fish are found here, and larger mammals such as seals and porpoises can also be encountered occasionally.
:''The Baltic Sea was formed as a result of a ground level rise following the latest ice age.''
