Participate in the SESN

The INECE Seaport Environmental Security Network is an operational network of professionals involved in the inspection and monitoring of transboundary movements of hazardous waste through seaports. 

SESN participants work together to build capacity, raise awareness, and facilitate enforcement collaboration on ways to detect and control illegal and dangerous transboundary shipments of environmentally-regulated goods through seaports.

For more information, see the background information on the SESN.

Participation in the SESN is open to governments, organizations, and individuals with responsibility for controling shipments of hazardous waste through seaports.
