October 31 marks the “International Black Sea Day” – a symbol of the joint responsibility of coastal countries for the preservation of the ecosystem of one of the most valuable sea basins in Europe. Black Sea Day was introduced to unite active and attract new participants in the environmental movement to protect the sea, to widely involve the public in solving environmental problems, and to strengthen international partnerships.
Within the framework of the project “Network for the Preservation of Sturgeon and for the Sustainability of the Black Sea Basin Ecosystem” (SturNet, BSB00172), funded by the Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Program, scientific research is being carried out on the protection and restoration of the biodiversity of the Black Sea Basin.
The goal of the project is to protect and preserve sturgeon in the Black Sea Basin, as well as to form sustainable environmental solutions for the entire region.
Project partners: OBB (Bulgaria), GeoEcoMar (Romania), ECCC (Moldova), AUTH (Greece), GTU (Turkey).
Within the framework of the project “Building Institutional
Readiness to Respond to Pollution/Litter in the Black Sea” EMFAF-2023-PIA-FLAGSHIP-2-BLACK, funded by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), existing training schemes and curricula for monitoring, reporting, managing and mitigating the consequences of marine pollution are being analyzed and new ones are being developed, with a special focus on pollution caused by armed conflicts.
The aim of the project is to build institutional readiness to respond to pollution/litter in the Black Sea.
Project partners: AUTh (Greece), BSNN (Bulgaria), INCDM – NIMRD (Romania), BSBUEAS (Ukraine), GMG/FoE (Georgia).
