Knowledge, Assessment and Management for AQUAtic Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services aCROSS EU policies (AQUACROSS)
Abstract
The core objective of this proposal is therefore to find integrated measures and management practices, which significantly enhance the resilience of aquatic ecosystems, stop the loss of their biodiversity and ensure the provision of ecosystem services. The proposal combines scientific analyses on drivers, pressures, status and impacts of aquatic ecosystems with meaningful stakeholder engagement right from the beginning of the project in order to come up with innovative and applicable management solutions for aquatic ecosystems at various scales. The scientific analyses will build on a common analytical framework, which uses the ecosystem services and resilience concept to link ecological science with socio-economic assessments. Six case studies related to the six targets of the EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy and addressing the major challenges for the resilience of aquatic ecosystems will be conducted to increase the knowledge base at different levels and to come up with practical solutions for effective management.
