The SAMBAH project works to estimate abundance and distribution of harbour porpoises in the Baltic Sea. On 8-9 December this year, SAMBAH and Kolmården Wildlife Park invite all stakeholders and managers to an international conference where we present the results of the project and discuss how these results can be used in the management of the Baltic Sea harbor porpoise. The conference will take place at Kolmården Wildlife Park close to Norrköping in Sweden. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the SAMBAH project coordinator Mats Amundin at mats.amundin@kolmarden.com

Fish Dependence is the day on which imports have to be relied upon because national catches would have run out if only home-caught fish had been eaten since 1 January.

Greece relies on imports just under a month per year, to satisfy domestic demand for fish products.

Fish dependence is a powerful concept that illustrates how far over consumption outstrips domestic resources. One way to illustrate this trend is to represent a country’s degree of self-sufficiency as a calendar day – the day in the year when a country has consumed its own supply and must begin sourcing its products from elsewhere, hence the term ‘fish dependence day’. For the EU this date is currently 11th July, after which the EU depends on foreign resources. Fish dependence day is calculated by New Economics Foundation (NEF).

The Danish Agri Fish Agency invites to a meeting regarding Natura 2000 areas in the Kattegat and the western Baltic. The meeting will be held in Danish.
