The cooperation agreement was signed on 1 June 2012 and aims to raise awareness about the need and oppor- tunities for adaptation in the face of cli- matic changes and sea warming, especially among tourism service providers. The as- sociation, which represents more than fifty touristic institutions from Boltenha- gen to Graal-Müritz, chose in the begin- ning of 2011 to integrate sustainability as a guiding principle. The VMO will play an important role in the RADOST Tour 2012: In Kühlungsborn on 12 September 2012, the adaptation opportunities for the tour- ism sector on the Baltic Sea coast will be Dr. Gerald Schernewski (Chairman of EUCC-D) and Kai-Michael Stybel (Chairman of VMO) on the Warnemünde beach (from left to right) discussed with Association members.

Introduction The 16th Meeting of the Advisory Committee recommended that a review of trend analyses of stranding and other data on small cetaceans in the ASCOBANS area be carried out. The ultimate aim is to provide on an annual basis AC members with an accessible, readable and succinct overview of trends in status, distribution and impacts of small cetaceans within the ASCOBANS Agreement Area. This should combine data sets of different stakeholders and countries. 2. Terms of Reference To achieve the above aim of the project, a three-staged process was proposed: Step 1: Identify where data of interest (e.g. stranding data, but also data on

Proceedings of The Sixth Workshop on Baltic Sea Ice Climate August 25–28, 2008 Lammi Biological Station, Finland HELSINKI 2009 2 Preface The importance of sea ice in the Baltic Sea has been addressed in the Baltic Sea Ice Workshops. The ice has been identified as a key element in the water and energy cycles and ecological state of the Baltic Sea. The variability in sea ice conditions is high and due to the short thermal memory of the Baltic Sea closely connected to the actual weather conditions. The spatial and temporal long-term variability of the ice cover has been discussed in the Baltic Sea Ice Workshops. One motivation of the workshop series, which started in 1993, was that sea ice is not properly treated in Baltic Sea research in general although the ice season has a major role in the annual cycle of the Baltic Sea. This still holds true, which is a severe bias since in environmental problems, such as oil spill accidents in winter and long term transport of pollutants, the ice conditions play a critically important role. Also in regional climate changes the Baltic Sea ice cover is a sensitive key factor. In the Baltic Sea Ice Climate Workshops these topics have been extensively discussed, in addition to basic Baltic Sea ice science questions.
