How the health of the environment and animals also affects our well-being

The catch quotas for herring in the western Baltic Sea have been declining drastically for a long time, even though herring appear in large numbers in the Stralsund area every year. How can this be explained and how does the decline in herring stocks affect the health of birds and marine mammals in the Baltic Sea? The connection between the health of humans, animals and the environment - also known as One Health - is complex and not always easy to understand at first glance. However, it is the key to maintaining our own quality of life

As part of the 15th conference of the European Society for Wildlife Health, the Friedrich Loeffler Institute and the German Oceanographic Museum are joining forces with people from politics and science to discuss how important intact ecosystems and healthy wildlife are for the well-being of us all.

The event will take place in the multi-purpose hall of the OZEANEUM conference center. Admission is free. As the number of seats is limited, please reserve tickets free of charge:
