| | The Trilateral Wadden Sea Forum |
 | | The trilateral Wadden Sea Forum was installed in 2002 by the governments of the Wadden Sea states with the task of developing strategies for sustainable development in the Wadden Sea region. | | | “We urge the European Commission and the Wadden Sea fisheries ministers to start working immediately on a system of rules and regulations which will make it possible to carry out fisheries in the Wadden Sea in such a way that jobs are secured and the Wadden Sea ecosystem is not damaged” said Mr. | | | The three governments concerned, proposed the designation of large parts of the Wadden Sea as Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) to the IMO, a status which has been granted in October 2002. |
