BRIDGE-BS: Advancing Black Sea
Research and Innovation to Co-Develop Blue Growth within Resilient Ecosystems
2021-2025, UFUK 2020 Projesi
Proje Özeti
The Black
Sea’s unique ecosystem services are degrading and need to be better managed for
the benefit of citizens dependent upon their sustainability. As a critical
contribution to the science-based policy needed to preserve the Black Sea
ecosystems, BRIDGE-BS proposes a multidisciplinary, multisectoral program
building on regional and international initiatives. The project will develop
predictive tools and capabilities necessary to understand and predict the
impacts of climate-driven and anthropogenic multi-stressors on the services
stemming from Black Sea ecosystems. These services and their responses to
stressors will be mapped, monitored, and modeled in order to identify a safe
operating space within which a sustainable blue economy can flourish. To this
end, BRIDGE-BS has structured around “three” interconnected nodes: Service
Dynamics, Blue Growth Incubators and Empowered Citizens. Node1 will, using time
series and new data, simulations and machine learning tools assess, predict and
determine ecosystem resilience to deliver adaptive management tools. Node1
outputs will be used in Node2 to identify services that can support sustainable
Blue Growth in the Black Sea by strengthening resource management, developing
and applying innovative technologies as well as supporting innovative start-ups
and business models to create added value and jobs. Node3 will support policy
uptake of BRIDGE-BS science and innovation results. It will train and
strengthen collaborations between scientists and stakeholders, as well as
policymakers, industry representatives, and societal interest groups. It will
educate, train and stimulate interactions between the public, future
generations of marine scientists, and entrepreneurs as well as motivate and
engage policy-makers. Most importantly, through Node3 BRIDGE-BS will create a
connected Black Sea community, strengthened by a new generation of researchers
and innovators to address emerging Black Sea challenges.
