Letter to Ministers – HELCOM
CCB • September 4, 2013
Until tomorrow the Helcom Heads on Delegation meeting is taking place in Copenhaguen. This meeting gathers key actors of the Baltic Sea Region and it aims to prepare the HELCOM Ministerial meeting on 3 October.
Taking place in the discussion, Coalition Clean Baltic together with The Fish Secretariat and Oceana sent a letter to the ministers of the Baltic Sea region, asking them to secure the Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP).

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.
