Wadden Sea Forum - PLENARY

The WSF plenary met regularly twice a year and consisted of representatives of the sectors Agriculture, Energy, Fisheries, Industry and Harbour, Nature Protection, Tourism, as well as local and regional governments. National governments were represented as observers.

At these plenary meetings relevant information and developments on specific topics were exchanged and discussed between participants. The plenary meetings were the deliberation and negotiation platform of the WSF. Urgent topics or challenges from out different sectors and branches were discussed, either to achieve consensus or to comprehensively illustrate a dissent in order to get a mutual understanding different points of view.
