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:
The Trilateral Governmental
Conferences which are held every 3 - 4 years, is the highest
decision making body in the framework of the collaboration.
In the periods between the Governmental Conferences, the Trilateral
Working Group (TWG), as a permanent working group, meets on average,
2-3 times a year. The TWG is composed of civil servants
of the responsible ministries and other relevant ministries as
well as regional authorities.
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.
