On 4 Dezember the ZMAW was visited by Dr. Joe Borg, Member of the European Commission with responsibility for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs.
In his introductory remarks, Prof. Dr. Martin Claußen, Chairman of the ZMAW, gave an overview of the research foci at the Centre.
Prof. Dr. Hans v. Storch then presented a summary of the work in the areas "Coastal Change: long term trends and extreme events" and "Observation and Information for Coastal Management"at the GKSS Institute for Coastal Research, which is an associate member of the ZMAW. In particular, he discussed the results of the comprehensive "Baltic Area Climate Change Assessment" which is soon to be published.
Particularly the talk by Prof. Dr. Axel Temming on "Fish stocks and ecosystem regime shifts due to climate and fisheries" was of great interest to Commissar Borg.
