Comb jelly poses serious threat to Baltic Sea ecosystem
CCB • October 30, 2007
Alarming numbers of comb jellies (Mnemiopsis ledyi) have been detected in parts of the Baltic Sea. It is feared that the invasive species could have disastrous consequences for the entire ecosystem in the Baltic.
We support the Ocean Act objectives for improving coherence, coordination and effectiveness of EU ocean governance. However, we emphasize that the Act must deliver truly ecosystem-based management and that reaching Good Environmental Status (GES), as defined in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), should be established as a cornerstone of the Act.
We are looking for a Project Coordinator to join our team at the CCB International Secretariat.
