Knowledge transfer
Many stakeholders, such as public authorities and industrial operators do not yet have sufficient information to enable them to control hazardous substances effectively. One vital goal of the COHIBA project is to increase awareness of these problems among such stakeholders. It is important in this context to bring Western and Eastern experiences together to benefit everyone.
Such awareness-raising must particularly enhance:
- the overall understanding of hazardous substances and chemicals control;
- better understanding in testing and source identification methods;
- better overview about assessing the impacts that hazardous chemicals have on the marine environment and how to manage the loads of target substances;
To this end the project will organize workshops and seminars e.g. in Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, with reports also produced on the related trainings. COHIBA will also publish brochures describing suitable management measures for specific industrial sectors.
