Report from the International River Watch Camp in Belarus
CCB • July 30, 2008
Between July 30 – August 5 2008, an International River Watch Camp was organised by ARB BirdLife (Belarus) and Friends of the Baltic (Russia) at the Vileiskoye lake (basin of Western Dvina) in Belarus.

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.
