In the first week of November (2014) Havsmiljöinstitutet arranged a workshop in Gothenburg to review of draft programme of measures for Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Julia Carlström and Martin Ogonowski from AquaBiota participated as invited experts.
The programme of measures for the Baltic and the North Sea is the last part of the first management cycle of MSFD to be implemented by all Member States. The program aims to achieve good environmental status of the seas, creating an overall picture of marine measures and to foster partnerships with neighboring countries for measures in the common environment.
