What is HELCOM?
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 9th Meeting of HELCOM Group on Ecosystem-based Sustainable Fisheries (FISH 9-2019) was organised in Tallinn, Estonia, at the premises of the Ministry of the Environment on 30-31 January 2019.
Nils Höglund, CCB Fisheries Policy Officer, attended the meeting and shared the information on the testing trials of pingers that are smaller and lighter than conventional ones, intended mainly for deterring porpoises. The aim of the trial is to establish whether seals are attracted to these pingers, which should not be the case as frequencies above 50 Hz is being used.
The outcome of the meeting, including the list of participants, is available here. Other documents are available on the dedicated HELCOM page.
