Baltic Coast Dialog
Baltic Coast Dialog is an international network that brings together actors from environmental organisations, fisheries, agriculture, tourism, science and authorities. We advocate the implementation of effective protection and restoration measures as well as sustainable fisheries management in the marine and coastal ecosystems of the Baltic Sea. The network aims to reduce language barriers while strengthening the flow of information and experience between stakeholders. We intend to develop synergies and joint perspectives that combine both conflicts of marine and coastal uses as well as requirements of biodiversity conservation.
FishSec participates as a partner in the project, which is led by the German-Polish association Rewilding Oder Delta. Other partners include Baltic Environmental Forum Lithuania, Deutsche Umwelthilfe, BirdLife Poland and Hel Marine Station University of Gdańsk.
On the 3rd of April, FishSec organised the fourth Baltic Coast Dialogue workshop in Stockholm, Sweden. The theme of the workshop was Ecosystem – Based Management (EBM) and fisheries. The agenda of the workshop along with the keynote presentations ca be found below.
