Hugo also delivered a presentation on ways of strengthening the oiled wildlife preparedness mechanism of Baltic Countries.The BRISK project has been looking at environmental sensitivities in the Baltic Sea proper in relation to the history of maritime incidents in the region and the current trend in increasing shipping traffic.
