The MUNI-RISK project is underway, kicking off today! The @CBSSsecretariat, alongside @HELCOMInfo, will notably continue the political dialogue in the #BalticSeaRegion on #MunitionsInTheSea. Transnational collaboration and a potential common mechanism for managing the risks posed by #submergedmunitions will be key. Together with EU sister projects #MUNIMAP and #MMinESwEEPER, #MUNIRISK will provide key information for risk assessments and prioritisation of areas needing action in the Baltic Sea.
