World Wetlands Day update - at last! (14/09/06)

Good afternoon everyone:

I wrote to the CEPA list in June about our early plans for World Wetlands Day 2007 and you will be relieved, no doubt, to hear that we have made progress since then and can fill in a few more details on what we are doing. We hope our Fish for Tomorrow? slogan will appeal to almost all of our WWD actors since there is surely not one country that does not have issues to deal with in fisheries. And of course maintaining the health of inland and coastal wetlands is essential to ensure that they continue to support sustainable fisheries.

Our webmaster has been busy updating the WWD 2007 web page so please go there right now and you will see what we are producing - caxref:6278. The poster and sticker design are there for you to see (and I hope enjoy) and these are being printed right now. The other materials – fisheries leaflet, web animation, and a do-it-yourself fish – are being finalised. Our goal is to begin the mailing process at the end of the first week in October. Please visit the web page to find out more details on this.

We look forward to your support for our annual wetland celebration!

With best wishes, Sandra Hails, Ramsar Secretariat
