On March 20th 2025, the NSAC and BSAC will jointly host a workshop on seals and cormorants interactions with North and Baltic Seas fisheries. The workshop will feature a series of presentations, with each speaker allocated 20 to 30 minutes, including time for Q&A session. In the afternoon, participants will engage in breakout discussions to explore the state of play, potential solutions and identify possible policy, management and science recommendations. The outcomes of these discussions will contribute to joint NSAC/BSAC Advice on the topic.
Location
The event will be taking place in Luleå, Sweden, at the Elite Stadshotellet, Luleå venue, and will be in-person only.
