Analysis and diagnosis#
Description#
This practice supports the analysis of the current state of the marine environment and the understanding of the key ecological processes at play. The diagnosis includes understanding the cause-effect relationships, starting from pressures (deriving from human activities and climate change), determining the state (of marine ecosystems and biodiversity) and eventually impacts (already in place or possible, at present and/or in the future).
Ecological toolkit (ESE1) for MPAs prioritization and networking. Deliverable – D3.4., under the WP3 of MSP4BIO project (GA n° 101060707)
Integrated Ecological-Socio-Economic Management Framework - ESE Step-by-Step guidance (with test site examples and lessons learned). Deliverable D4.5 under under the WP4 of MSP4BIO project (GA n° 101060707). In preparation: expected July 2025.
Additional details#
ESE1 - Ecological toolkit (Analysis and diagnosis)#
To clarify and quantify the cause-effect nexus, macro-criteria should be assessed by using their respective indicators, and specific DSTs can be applied.
