LIFE Godwit Flyway: Project team

Introduction

On this page, we would like to introduce you to the team members of the LIFE Godwit Flyway. Godwit Flyway is managed by multiple so-called beneficiaries (“project partners”). The coordinating beneficiary is the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Climate Protection of Lower Saxony (MU). It has commissioned its subordinate authority Lower Saxony Water Management, Coastal and Nature Protection Agency (NLWKN) to implement the project.
