What is Kattegat?
[[File:Skagerrak-Kattegat.png|thumb|right|Image showing the [[Skagerrak]] and the Kattegat seas]] '''Kattegat''' is a [[sea]] in the northern part of Europe between the [[Denmark|Danish]] [[peninsula]] [[Jutland]], the Danish island [[Zealand]], and the western coast of [[Sweden]]. To the north-west is [[Skagerrak]]. Kattegat is connected to the [[Baltic Sea]] through the Danish Straits and Belts. The sea is shallow, and life conditions are threatened by loss of [[oxygen]] in the water. The oxygen loss is caused by [[pollution]]. The pollution originates from farming. A century ago, the sea was very rich in [[cod]], [[herring]], and [[salmon]], which were important sources of food in the countries around the sea. {{geo-stub}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Seas]] <!-- interwiki -->
