EU Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism

Bridge Black Sea (Bridge-BS)

Description

Short description of the project: BRIDGE-BS is a four-year project financed by Horizon Europe, aimed at advancing the Black Sea's marine research and developing 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.

Expected results: BRIDGE-BS will support the development of an informed, well connected, educated, and empowered Black Sea community, including scientists, institutions, policymakers, and the society at large. It will create a flow of knowledge between scientists, policymakers, and entrepreneurs, working side-by-side from the beginning of the project. This approach will develop trust and complementarity, one of the main goals of BRIDGE-BS, which is necessary to prepare for future marine environmental challenges and ensure Blue Growth potential in the best possible way. 

Application/relevance: The relevance of the BRIDGE-BS project to Aquaculture lies in its focus on holistic and adaptive management, particularly under Node 2: Blue Growth Incubators. By identifying services that support sustainable Blue Growth in the Black Sea, the project aims to strengthen resource management and promote innovative technologies. This approach aligns with the aquaculture industry, offering opportunities for improved resource efficiency, innovation, and the development of sustainable practices. Additionally, the project's emphasis on empowering citizens and creating a connected community may foster collaboration and knowledge exchange that could benefit the industry in Europe.
