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, including hazardous materials, electronic waste, and ozone depleting substances.

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

Contact the INECE SESN by emailing sesn at inece.org or by contacting the INECE Secretariat.
Join the INECE SESN Mailing List to receive news bulletins and updates on SESN activities.
