Samenwerking is voor Stichting De Noordzee van buitengewoon groot belang.
Met een aantal collega-natuurorganisaties hebben we structurele samenwerkingsverbanden
zo bundelen we de krachten voor een gezonde en florerende
Noordzee, en ontvangen we daarnaast in sommige gevallen organisatorische
ondersteuning. Verder hechten we sterk aan samenwerking op specifieke onderwerpen.
De hoeveelheid thema’s die spelen op de Noordzee is dermate groot, en
de betrokkenen dermate verschillend, dat het voor ons cruciaal is om op deelgebieden
de samenwerking te zoeken. Dat vergroot zowel onze expertise als het
bereik van onze boodschap.
Stichting De Noordzee heeft zowel nationaal als internationaal een hecht netwerk:
Met stichting Natuur & Milieu is er samenwerking op organisatorisch niveau
en op inhoudelijke thema’s.
