Concretely the objectives are:

  • Suggest innovative ecological indicators to account for HABs in the GES definition.
  • Estimate the needs to reach GES in all marine areas (distance-to-target requirement, DTTR).
  • Identify “realistic” scenarios of nutrient reduction in the river watersheds of NEA.
  • Assess the impact of the “realistic” scenarios in the sea, and compare to DTTR.
