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 develops an ecosystem-based management framework to enable policy uptake and foster citizen engagement.

BRIDGE-BS From Lighthouse to Lighthouse Book is Now Out! Funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme, the BRIDGE-BS project has published a new thematic volume titled “From Lighthouse to Lighthouse”, developed as part of its efforts to support the sustainable future of the Black
The Black Sea Cookbook for Responsible Seafood Consumption is now out! The Black Sea has a unique ecosystem increasingly pressured by human activities and climate-induced stressors. Strengthening the Black Sea’s blue economy requires that its ecosystem services and their resilience to these stressors be effectively
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 serve as 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 Economy scenarios are explored in seven pilot sites. Stakeholder and community interactions occur among the coastal communities in these sites. Additionally, Blue Economy incubator activities concentrate on these locations.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101000240.
