The Marine Environment Service of the FPS Public Health is responsible for protecting the environment in the Belgian part of the North Sea. They are committed to safeguarding marine life, working on nature restoration, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
When things go wrong, they head out to sea to combat pollution. To ensure that both people and nature have space at sea, they develop the marine spatial plan, which defines where activities such as shipping, fishing, and wind energy can take place.
Sea, ships, animals, and regulations… how does it all connect?
