organisation profile
In 1987, the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat (CWSS) was established as the secretariat for the trilateral Cooperation. Since then, it has been situated in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. Its primary task is to support, initiate, facilitate and coordinate the activities of the collaboration.
The CWSS is responsible for the preparation of the meetings held in the framework of the cooperation. It is also responsible for the collection and assessment of information with regard to Wadden Sea protection, management and monitoring including progress in the implementation of the decisions of the ministerial conferences. Furthermore the CWSS collects information on activities that have, or may have, significant effects on the natural environment of the Wadden Sea and give suggestions for appropriate actions. Finally, the secretariat coordinates trilateral initiatives in relevant international organizations. Reports and documents produced by the trilateral cooperation are published by the CWSS.
The work of the secretariat is supervised by a board of representatives composed of one representative of each of the responsible national ministries.
