In late March/early April, the Advisory Committee (AC) to ASCOBANS will meet for the 15th time. The venue is at the Secretariat's premises, the historical high-rise building Langer Eugen in the city of Bonn (more information on the venue, transport and accommodation can be found here). The AC provides advice and information to the Secretariat and the Parties between the sessions of the decision-making body of the Agreement, the Meeting of Parties (MOP), thereby facilitating the implementation of the Agreement. Its dual role in overseeing both issues of administration and conservation science is reflected in the programme, which foresees separate sessions for these thematic blocks. The Administrative Session will take place on 31 March, followed by three days focusing on Science and Conservation.
Meeting documents will be made available here in due course. For any questions, please contact the ASCOBANS Secretariat.
