DSTF 2nd meeting, Tulcea, 26-29 August

After a first meeting in Vienna, in January 2012, when the DSTF was established, a second meeting took place between 26-29 August 2012, in Tulcea, Danube Delta, Romania. 28 participants from Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Switzerland have attended the meeting. The discussions have focused on the strategy to implement the Sturgeon 2020 program for sturgeon conservation in the Danube River Basin and the adjacent Black Sea (based on Sturgeon Action Plan, adopted in 2005 under the Bern Convention) and further actions required to develop the DSTF network accordingly.
