Within the ANEMONE PLUS project, UkrSCES contributes to the development of tools for assessing the ecological status of the Black Sea and adapting complex scientific methodologies for wider audiences. One of these tools is the TRIX index: an integrated indicator used to assess eutrophication levels in marine waters. Eutrophication occurs [...]
As part of the scientific cooperation initiated within the ANEMONE project and continued through ANEMONE PLUS, partners from TÜBİTAK have published a new research article in Marine Pollution Bulletin. The publication: “Macrozoobenthic diversity of eutrophication hotspots under anthropogenic pressures in the southern Black Sea: Interactions between environmental factors and community [...]
ANEMONE PLUS applies advanced technologies to assess the condition of Black Sea marine ecosystems and develop innovative approaches for environmental monitoring. Project partners use: • underwater cameras; • eDNA barcoding; • passive acoustic monitoring; • remote sensing; • machine learning and modelling methods. One of the key project outputs will [...]
Within the ANEMONE PLUS project, partners launched the Black Sea Caravan initiative – a series of awareness and outreach activities for Black Sea communities.
