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.
A new research article with BRIDGE-BS contribution has been published in Nature Ecology & Evolution! "Aquatic Deoxygenation as a Planetary Boundary and Key Regulator of Earth System Stability" co-authored by our partner University of Liège researchers and partially supported by BRIDGE-BS has been published in
Join the Black Sea Ocean Literacy Network! Black Sea Ocean Literacy Network has been launched under BRIDGE-BS for the first time in the Black Sea. It develops ownership and stewardship to protect the Black Sea, brings together scientists, educators, and professionals, and serves as a
A new research article with BRIDGE-BS contribution is now out! A recent article supported by the H2020 BRIDGE-BS project, titled "High microplastic pollution in marine sediments associated with urbanised areas along the SW Bulgarian Black Sea coast" sheds light on the levels of microplastics in
BRIDGE-BS Training Webinars on Sustainable Tourism Models successfully concluded! From October 1 to 22, 2024, a series of three webinars titled “Sustainable Tourism Models: Understanding New Tourism Models in a Changing Era” were organized by BRIDGE-BS partners CPMR, in cooperation with the ICBSS and CETMAR.The webinars
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.
