This week, leading fish experts are gathering in Groningen, Netherlands, for the highly anticipated second Trilateral Swimway Conference.

The educational programme offers an in-depth exploration of ecology, nature conservation, sustainable development, and management, specifically centered around the unique ecological context of the Wadden Sea.

During the meeting, participants conducted a baseline assessment for pilot sites, identifying key themes for ongoing discussions.

A recent publication in Bird Conservation International highlights the mass mortality in breeding colonies.

As a next step towards a Trilateral Wadden Youth Network, the Wadden Sea Youth Weekend will be held on 9 to 12 May 2024 on Schiermonnikoog (NL).

Climate change is having profound effects on the Wadden Sea, primarily through temperature and sea level rise, as well as extreme weather events.
