For the targeted risk management posed by Munitions in the Sea the creation of a comprehensive operational picture of the situation in total is an important basis.

Munitions in the Sea posing a wide range of risks to the marine ecosystem, to flora and fauna, and to humans. Recognizing and assessing these risks requires the cooperation of experts from various disciplines and government agencies.
