On 26-27 January 2026, experts and stakeholders from across the Wadden Sea region held a trilateral workshop in Wilhelmshaven as part of the update process of the Breeding Bird Action.

The newly published methodological guidelines are the first step in ensuring adequate data availability for modelling climate impacts at the site level.

An international survey of migratory waterbirds is taking place this month along the East Atlantic Flyway, one of the world’s most important migration corridors.

A new comprehensive report has been published assessing capacity for waterbird monitoring along the African part of the East Atlantic Flyway and proposing a framework for strengthening and sustaining this capacity for the future. 

CWSS participated in the 9th Session of the Meeting of the Parties to the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement.

The event aimed to support long-term scientific capacity along the flyway and explore how academic collaboration could be strengthened.

The 2025 survey recorded a total of 23,954 moulting harbour seals and 10,044 harbour seal pups.
