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.
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

The Horizon 2020-funded BRIDGE-BS (Advancing Black Sea Research and Innovation to Co-Develop Blue Growth within Resilient Ecosystems) aims to advance the Black Sea’s marine research and innovation to co-develop Blue Economy pathways under
BRIDGE-BS Winter School, "Science for Policy Towards a Sustainable Blue Economy in the Black Sea," was successfully held! On 19–20 March 2025, the BRIDGE-BS Winter School “Science for Policy towards a Sustainable Blue Economy in the Black Sea” was successfully held in Athens, Greece. Organized
BRIDGE-BS Webinar Series "Black Sea Towards 2050" is on the way! The Horizon 2020-funded BRIDGE-BS project is pleased to announce a series of webinars showcasing major findings and key results from our four-year journey in advancing sustainable Blue Economy in the Black Sea towards 2050.Over
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.
