The Second General Meeting of our Action Periamar was held between 22 and 23^rd September 2022 in Krakow, Poland. We were hosted by the Institute of Nature Conservation at the Polish Academy of Sciences. The meeting followed a comprehensive agenda: a general session to present different Action outputs, including presentations from STSM candidates, work group leaders, Scientific Communication Committee, and overall discussion to prepare the proposal of a risk assessment strategy. The second day we had separate meetings to focus and work on specific topics. At the end we finished with the Sixth Management Committee Meeting.
