COPENHAGEN : Save-the-Seas Talks
Environmentalists, scientists and government and industry representatives from 17 European countries meet here Wednesday through Friday for the first European Seas at Risk Conference, which will focus on the continent’s growing problems of sea pollution.
The conference is expected to concentrate on deteriorating conditions in the North Sea, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, all bordering the industrial powers of Europe.
A federation of non-governmental organizations, which is sponsoring the event, hopes to produce an action plan for preserving the European seas.
