The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation was happy to host an expert workshop on “Managing risks to biodiversity and the environment on the high seas, including tools such as marine protected areas” at its International Academy for Nature Conservation on the Isle of Vilm, since it hoped that the results will also benefit its conservation activities as lead country for the establishment of a system of marine protected areas in the North East Atlantic in the OSPAR context.
