NGO STRATEGIC WORKSHOP – NGO WORK WITH FISHERIES IN THE BALTIC SEA

Published on August 15, 2007

FISH is organising a workshop together with the Polish NGOs Klub GAJA and Eko Unia. The workshop will take part during 28-29 August at the marine research station in Hel peninsula, Poland.

The purpose of the meeting is to exchange experiences with raising public awareness, policy and lobbying on Baltic Sea issues, and fisheries in particular. The discussions will therefore focus on how to raise public awareness and influence decision-makers in Poland on Baltic Sea issues, in particular Baltic cod, overfishing and IUU. The meeting also intends to discuss future cooperation across the Baltic Sea region on these issues.

The workshop is primarily addressed at Polish and Swedish NGOs. The main presenters at the meeting are representatives of NGOs, but selected people from media and Public Relations as well as ICES have been invited.
