The Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission – also known as the Helsinki Commission (HELCOM) – is an intergovernmental organization (IGO) and a regional sea convention in the Baltic Sea area. HELCOM was established about four decades ago to protect the marine environment of the Baltic Sea from all sources of pollution through intergovernmental cooperation. The HELCOM Secretariat is located in Helsinki, Finland. To know more about it.
Description
The 12th Meeting of the HELCOM ad hoc Seal Expert Group took place on 10-12 October 2018 in Tallinn, Estonia, at the premises of Estonian Ministry of the Environment. CCB was represented at the meeting by the Biodiversity and Nature Conservation Working Area leader.
Presentation:
This HELCOM expert group consists of marine mammal experts, scientists, and managers from the Contracting Parties around the Baltic Sea. To reflect the fact that not only seals are discussed in this group, but also harbour porpoises, a decision was taken that the group will from now on be named HELCOM MAMA.
