BRIDGE-BS aims to advance the Black Sea’s marine research and innovation to co-develop Blue Growth pathways under multi-stressors for the sustainable utilization of ecosystem services. To do so it will develop an ecosystem-based management framework to enable policy uptake and foster citizen engagement.
BRIDGE-BS report, "2050 Sustainable Blue Economy Imaginaries for the Black Sea" is now available! The “2050 Sustainable Blue Economy Imaginaries for the Black Sea” report is developed within the BRIDGE-BS by project our partner Stratégies Mer et Littoral. The report explores four distinct scenarios for the
EMSEA Webinar on Black Sea Literacy Network was successfully held! The Black Sea Literacy Network Webinar, organized by BRIDGE-BS partner EMSEA, took place on February 12, 2025, bringing together network members and ocean literacy advocates to strengthen and expand their shared mission. This interactive session
BRIDGE-BS kicked off the new year with a new publication! Supported by BRIDGE-BS, experts from our partner institute, the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, have published their research in the Bulgarian Journal of Meteorology and Hydrology!Their study examines
BRIDGE-BS Science Communication efforts were spotlighted at CommOCEAN 2024! On 26-27 November 2024, the CommOCEAN 2024 conference took place in Malaga, Spain, hosted by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO) and organized by our partner the European Marine Board IVZW.CommOCEAN is an international series of
BRIDGE-BS will advance knowledge and deliver research under three NODES: Service Dynamics, Blue Growth Incubators, and Empowered Citizens. The NODES will be highly interlinked, feeding on and into each other.
Pilot sites are unique venues for the focused implementation of BRIDGE-BS in a cross-cutting manner. Specific forecasts of ecosystem services under the influence of multi-stressors and co-designed Blue Growth scenarios will be investigated in the 8 pilot sites. Interactions with stakeholders and communities will take place among the coastal communities in these sites. Last but not least, Blue Growth incubator activities will focus on these sites.
BRIDGE Black Sea will develop the decision support tools necessary for the generation and implementation of holistic and adaptive management to identify the safe operating space under Node 1: Service Dynamics. Node 2: Blue Growth Incubators will use 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. Through Node3: Empowered Citizens, BRIDGE Black Sea will create a connected Black Sea community, strengthened by a new generation of researchers and innovators to address emerging Black Sea challenges.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101000240.
