Since 1978, the responsible
ministries of the The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany have been
working together on the protection and conservation of the Wadden
Sea covering management, monitoring and research, as well as
political matters:
Trilateral Wadden Sea Governmental
Council is the politically responsible body
(Ministers) for the Cooperation. It gives political leadership, assures international policy
development, harmonisation and decision-making between the three
governments.
Wadden Sea Board
is the governing body of the Cooperation.
Prepares, adopts and implements the Strategy, oversees the operational
and advisory bodies, and secures relations with key stakeholders. The
Board is chaired by a senior government official appointed by the
Council and rotating between the countries and operates according to
agreed Rules of Procedure.
The Common
Wadden Sea Secretariat (CWSS) was established in 1987 in
Wilhelmshaven, Germany, as the secretariat for the trilateral
cooperation. Its primary task is to support, initiate, facilitate
and coordinate the activities of the collaboration.
