Summary:
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 is structured around “three” interconnected nodes:  Service Dynamics, Blue Growth Incubators and Empowered Citizens.
