GES-REG

Title: Good environmental status through regional coordination and capacity building

Summary: The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) sets a target for achieving favourable environmental status (GES) in the marine environment for 2020 and suggests Member State cooperation to ensure the coordinated development of marine strategies in the same marine region.

The main aim of the project is to support coherent and coordinated implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive in the central and northeastern sub-regions of the Baltic Sea.

The GES-REG project improves marine environmental management in the region via dissemination efforts towards the main target groups of the environmental authorities, institutions responsible for marine monitoring and assessment, HELCOM, stakeholders and the wider public. The project is utilizing the methods of analysis, publications and meetings with environmental officials as well as thematic seminars.
