Summary: The EMMA project aimed to develop a local integrated strategy for reducing the environmental and socio-economic impact of hypoxia and /or anoxic seasonal events (i.e. no or low oxygen conditions) in the marine and coastal zones of the North Adriatic Sea. This was meant to involve: transfer of scientific and technical knowledge to local authorities so that degradation of the marine ecosystem can be countered; raising awareness about the need for and use of integrated environmental management systems, including those of local authorities not directly involved in the project; and exchange of experiences, to enable diffusion of the model throughout Italy and to other parts of Europe. The project successfully developed a local integrated strategy for reducing the environmental and socio-economic impacts of hypoxia and/or anoxic seasonal events in the marine and coastal zones of the North Adriatic Sea. EMMA fully managed to transfer complex scientific and technical know-how to local authorities in order to counteract the degradation of the marine ecosystem.
