Towards COast to COast NETworks of marine protected areas ( from the shore to the high and deep sea), coupled with sea-based wind energy potential (COCONET)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Environmental policies focus on protecting habitats valuable for their biodiversity, as well as producing energy in cleaner ways. The establishment of Marine Protected Area (MPA) networks and installing Offshore Wind Farms (OWF) are important ways to achieve these goals. The protection and management of marine biodiversity has focused on placing MPAs in areas important for biodiversity. This has p ...

Building Capacity for a Black Sea Catchment Observation and Assessment System supporting Sustainable Development (EnviroGRIDS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

The Black Sea Catchment is internationally known as one of ecologically unsustainable development and inadequate resource management, which has led to severe environmental, social and economic problems. EnviroGRIDS @ Black Sea Catchment aims at building the capacities of regional stakeholders to use new international standards to gather, store, distribute, analyze, visualize and disseminate crucia ...

"In situ monitoring of oxygen depletion in hypoxic ecosystems of coastal and open seas, and land-locked water bodies" (HYPOX)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

"Hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions in aquatic ecosystems increase in number, duration and extent due to global warming and eutrophication. Global warming will lead to degassing of oxygen, increased stratification, reduced deep-water circulation and changes in wind patterns affecting transport and mixing. Projected increases in hypoxia (e.g. doubling of “dead zones”) are accompanied by enhanced emiss ...

SYNERGIES BETWEEN SCIENCE AND SOCIETY FOR A SHARED APPROACH TO EUROPEAN SEAS (4SEAS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2010,

"More than 70% of the globe is covered by water, and Europe itself is bordered by four different water basins (the Atlantic Ocean/North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea) which have been shaping and influencing the European cultural, social and economic heritage since the ancient times. Seas are the paradigm of cross-cutting approaches to knowledge and life. Oceans are a ...
