Advancing Black Sea Research and Innovation to Co-Develop Blue Growth within Resilient Ecosystems

BRIDGE-BS aims to advance the Black Sea’s marine research and innovation to co-develop Blue Economy pathways under multi stressors for the sustainable utilization of the ecosystem services. 

BRIDGE-BS is designed to define a safe operating space for the Black Sea Blue Economy, ensuring that ecosystem boundaries are known and respected. To achieve this, the project has developed, for the first time in the region, an ensemble modeling framework that provides critical insights into the resilience of the Black Sea which has never been analyzed before. These models, supported by new ecosystem and socio-economic data, deliver results on ecosystem
state under different climate and human-driven pressures. The outputs feed into AI emulators, cumulative effect assessment tools, and “what-if” scenarios, while also supporting the development of
multi-stressor, multi-service Decision Support Tools and adaptive management strategies at both basinwide and Pilot scales. Living Labs across different regions provide additional stakeholder-driven input, reinforcing the co-design of European Digital Twin Ocean applications and enabling risk-based assessments that guide sustainable management of the Black Sea.
