2 Introduction
3 Challenges and objectives Challenges Objectives Interaction pressure-impactclimate change Cost-benefit measures Role of indicators GEnS meaning Reduce monitoring costs New assessment tools Integration of data Participation of stakeholders Public awareness Work Packages Improve our understanding of the impact of human activities and climate change on marine biodiversity. Identify barriers and bottlenecks that prevent Good Environmental Status (GEnS) from being achieved Test indicators and develop new, innovative ones to assess biodiversity in a harmonized way throughout the 4 regional seas. WP3: Indicator testing and development. Develop, test and validate innovative integrative modelling and monitoring tools to improve our understanding of ecosystem and biodiversity changes, for integration into a unique and holistic assessment WP4: Innovative modelling tools. WP5: Innovative monitoring techniques WP6: Integrative assessment Propose and disseminate strategies and measures for ecosystems adaptive management, including the active role of industry and relevant stakeholders WP7: Outreach, stakeholder engagement and product dissemination.
