EG MaMa
Expert Group on Marine Mammals
The HELCOM Expert Group on Marine Mammals (EG MaMa) consists of marine mammal experts, scientists, and managers from the Contracting Parties around the Baltic Sea. Representatives of the fisheries sector participate as well in order to improve dialogue related to protection and management of marine mammals between the environment and fisheries sectors. EG MaMa is the successor of the ad hoc SEAL Expert Group that was established according to Recommendation 27-28/2 and met annually since 2006.
The tasks described in the workplan aim to drive the work of the EG MaMa as well as three teams under EG MaMa:
- Marine Mammal Health Team
- Seal Population, Abundance and Distribution Team
- Harbour Porpoise Population, Abundance and Distribution Team
Please contact the HELCOM Secretariat if you wish to receive more information about the work of these dedicated teams.
