Publications

This page contains links to all OSPAR publications. OSPAR publications may be written by a variety of authors but all go through the OSPAR publication process and as such the content is endorsed by OSPAR Contracting Parties. These publications are scrutinised and approved at OSPAR committee level before going for sign off and endorsement at the annual OSPAR Commission meeting usually held in June.
