Wadden Sea Day 2011 Event

On 25 August 2011, the sixth annual Wadden Sea Day took place in Wilhelmshaven. Over 80 participants from the three Wadden Sea countries, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, attended the scientific conference on “Fish in the Wadden Sea – Exploring an Unknown World”. With this year’s topic a very important issue for the Wadden Sea was addressed, which often does not get enough attention. The conference aimed at providing insights in recent research and assessment of monitoring data, identifying research priorities for trilateral projects, and discussing with scientists and managers how trilateral targets on fish could be met.

Rund 80 Vertreter aus den Niederlanden, Dänemark und Deutschland haben sich am 25. August 2011 beim 6. Wattenmeertag in Wilhelmshaven mit der Entwicklung der Fischbestände in den Wattengebieten der drei Anrainerstaaten befasst. Dabei ging es über die in der Vergangenheit dominierende Betrachtung der Nutzfische hinaus insbesondere um die Bedeutung und Veränderung anderer Fischpopulationen.
