The network is organized into national platforms consisting of their respective member organisations. Each platform is headed by a focal point, which co-ordinates its activities and is responsible for interaction and communication between the Co-ordinating Committee (CC) and the national platform.
The network is chaired by the country chairing the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS). Decisions about joint activities of the network are taken by the Co-ordinating Committee (CC), which consists of one or two representatives from each of the Baltic Sea Countries. The Co-ordinating Committee also prepares the annual Baltic Sea NGO Forum together with the platform of the country chairing the CBSS. Between the forums, the CC may co-operate with national, regional or international political bodies to influence the political agenda and the decision-making process.
