1 The impact of the PERSEUS (FP7) Research Project on the Black Sea region C. Ioakeimidis, E. Papathanassiou Hellenic Centre for Marine Research Institute of Oceanography BSH International Thematic Workshop on Resource Efficiency & Environment Black Sea Region Challenges Tbilisi, Georgia, 22 March 2016
2 PERSEUS Partnership Policy-oriented marine Environmental Research for the Southern EUropean Seas 21 countries 53 partners (>300 scientists) 65 Institutes & Universities 2 Subcontractors Jan 12 - Dec 15 EU Contribution: 13m
3 Field work on pressures and processes Changes in environmental parameters and impacts on plankton Pelagic fish AlborEX LionEX AegEX LevEX BSEX MarEX Food web interactions (including jellyfish) Mapping habitat types with emphasis on sea grass meadows Impact of coastal development and urbanization on shallow water habitats Demersal fish aggregations; analysing functional community changes Non-indigenous Species Pollution - Contaminants Pollution - Bioaccumulation Litter Noise Impacts of environmental parameters on food web Primary productivity - planktonic biomass Non-indigenous Species Pollution - Contaminants Some Results Plastic is the main issue in floating and sea bottom litter (Med>80%, BS>60%) Non-indigenous species, after 2000, are increasing at all coastal areas (Med) Nutrients and phytoplankton biomass show a decrease trend in most areas Developed a common eutrophication assessment methodology (coastal) Identification of ocean acidification trend is shown in the Med Sea
4 Field work in open sea and coastal waters: Identify Pressures and understand the Processes Coastal Example: Impact of coastal development and urbanization on shallow water habitats (NIMRD) Open Sea Example: Understand the Processes Comparison of soft bottom zoobenthic communities indices on Saronikos, Marseille, Constanta, Burgas, Sevastopol. Bentix is more strongly correlated with abiotic factors and renders a classification assessment linked with gradient of contaminants (TOC threshold) Hydrology Shelf-slope exchanges Pelagic ecosystem Fish dynamics (anchovy) NIS
