1 Which other government departments are involved in activities/initiatives for the conservation of migratory species in your country? (Please list.) · The Ministry of Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management · The Ministry of Finance (Dienst der Domeinen- government service in charge of the management of government lands not belonging to the ministry of Agriculture, Nature & Food Quality) · The Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands Antilles (all fisheries related activities) 2 If more than one government department is involved, describe the interaction/relationship between these government departments: · Regular communication and exchange of information · Combined remedial actions 3 Has a national liaison system or committee been established in your country? Please provide contact information Yes No

4 List the main non-governmental organizations actively involved in activities/initiatives for the conservation of migratory species in your country, and describe their involvement: · Natuurmonumenten – the largest non governmental site managing organisation · ‘Provinciale Landschappen’, 12 regional trusts, site managing organisations each for one province · Birdlife-Netherlands (Vogelbescherming Nederland) · Wereldnatuurfonds/ WWF-Netherlands · Natuur en Milieu/Society for Nature & Environment · Koninklijke Nederlandse Jagers Vereniging: Royal Dutch Hunting Association · SOVON: data collecting organisation for birds · ANEMOON - foundation for research on sea animals · RAVON - research on reptiles, amphibians and fish · VZZ - association for research on mammals · KNNV - Royal Dutch Society for Nature Conservation - research on field biology in the Netherlands; implementation of nature conservation projects in the CEE region under the BBI-Matra programme · Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance (DCNA) (umbrella of nature park management organizations of all islands) · Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire (STCB) (research and monitoring of sea turtles on Bonaire) · St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation (STENAPA) (monitoring of sea turtles on St. Eustatius) In addition we can mention: · Staatsbosbeheer National Forest Service– semi-independent government service for forest and nature management 4a Please provide detail on any devolved government/overseas territory authorities involved. · The Netherlands: 12 provinces (regional government) · Antilles: Ministry of Public Health & Social Development (VSO), Department of Environment & Nature (MINA) of the Netherlands Antilles 5 Describe any involvement of the private sector in the conservation of migratory species in your country: · Current practice: Farmers take part in different nature management programmes in the Agri- environmental programme (SAN). Targets are among others conservation of breeding birds (e.g.g Limosa limosa) and management of goose wintering areas. There are numerous nature management associations of farmers (agrarische natuurverenigingen) · New initiatives: In the new Beleidsprogramma Biodiversiteit 2008-2011 (Policy Programme on Biodiversity 2008-2011) cooperation with the private sector (much broader than agriculture alone) is one of the priorities under the heading ‘Nieuwe coalities voor biodiversiteit’(new coalitions for biodiversity).

Kingdom of the Netherlands, CMS Report, 2008 7 6 Note any interactions between these sectors in the conservation of migratory species in your country: · There are numerous interactions between farming and nature conservation and hence between farmers and their associations (including farmers’ associations for nature management) , nature conservation organisations and the government. · Interactions with the fisheries sector are intensifying also. · Reaching a compromise on gas extraction in the Waddensea was a major issue on the last few years also, as was cockle fishing. · Interactions with civil aviation and the military sector are important issues also.

In 1981 a reintroduction project was set up in Swedish Lapland to guide the geese via a safe route to the North Sea countries. Nowadays every winter some 100 birds are seen in the Netherlands. SOVON report 2005/06 (Koffijberg et al) describes an increase from ca 20 individuals around 1990 to ca 120 from 2003/04 onwards. There are 6 core sites for this species, where 87% of all observations took place. Average peak numbers vary from 50 individuals near Anjum to 5 elsewhere. The majority are of Swedish origin. It is also estimated that 96% of the reintroduced Swedish birds winter in the Netherlands.

VI. Policies on Satellite Telemetry

1 In the current reporting period, has your country undertaken Yes No conservation/research projects that use satellite telemetry? In preparation on-going completed · In close cooperation with the German “Institute of Avian Research” SOVON participates in a large international research programme financed by the “European Space Agency” (ESA) . Partners in this programme are "Computational Biogeography and Physical Geography (UvA)" and "Centre for Limnology (NIOO-KNAW)". The project focuses on following the movements of Lesser Black-backed Gulls, Herring Gulls and Barnacle Geese using satellite transmitters. The overall aim of the FlySafe programme is to prove the added value of the integration of space-based systems (meteorology, earth observations, telecommunication etc.) and earth-based systems to improve flight safety. More information on the overall research programme can be found at: Avian Alert website.

· Research on habitat use of Limosa limosa in relation to agricultural activities, research on breeding biology of Limosa limosa in the Netherlands. · Research on the wintering areas and spring migration of the Black-Tailed Godwit (Kuijper, D.P.J., E. Wymenga, J. van der Kamp & D. Tanger (eds.), 2006. Wintering areas and spring migration of the Black-tailed Godwit. Bottlenecks and protection along the migration route. A&W-rapport 820. Altenburg & Wymenga ecologisch onderzoek, Veenwouden.) http://www.grutto.nl/content.aspx?cid=65 · Research on migration of Circus pygargus (started in 2005): www.grauwekiekenfief.nl · Research on Anser albifrons. For some years Alterra has followed, in cooperation with the German goose researcher Helmut Kruckenberg intensively the movements of marked Anser albifrons. Some thousands have been marked with neck bands and since 2006 some of them are followed by satellite telemetry. In this way the geese can be followed more accurately than only by neck bands. http://www.blessgans.de/ · Since the summer of 2007 purple herons are followed by telemetry in a project of Vogelbescherming Nederland en Bureau Waardenburg. Questions are: Where do they go? What route do they take across Europe? In what areas do purple herons reside? How long do they linger there? Do they cross the Sahara in one stretch? http://www.vogelbescherming.nl/content.aspx?cid=3173 · Sea Turtle satellite tracking program, Bonaire and St. Eustatius. http://www.bonairenature.com/turtles/news-act.html 2 Are any future conservation/research projects planned that will use Yes No satellite telemetry? If Yes, please provide details (including the expected timeframe for these projects): · Continuing of above mentioned research projects · Research will be extended to Branta leucopsis If No, please explain any impediments or requirements in this regard: Lack of funding (in the Netherlands Antilles) 3 Results – please describe the positive outcomes of any actions taken

Kingdom of the Netherlands, CMS Report, 2008 36 The research programmes give insight in the migration routes, breeding biology and use of wintering areas. The results of the research on geese are used to define the most important wintering areas where geese can graze undisturbed and where the farmers are compensated for the damage to the agricultural grasslands on one hand and areas where eventually the damage will not be compensated and geese may be scared away. Besides the knowledge of flyways is used in the research on avian influenza.

The sea turtle tracking programme has provided insight as to where sea turtles nesting in Bonaire and St. Eustatius go to forage. The daily tracking updates provided on a website generated enormous public interest, a powerful tool in raising public awareness.
