Challenges
The Checkpoint regional projects established a method for ‘valuing’ the marine data made available through initiatives such as EMODnet and Copernicus for the benefit of key downstream applications to foster the blue economy.
The challenges provide a way to value data and make informed choices about the suitability of a dataset to solve their particular problem.
As with other EMODnet Checkpoints, EMODnet BlackSea assessed basin-monitoring systems on the basis of the data needs from 11 end-user applications. These were of paramount importance for: (i) the blue economy sector (offshore industries, fisheries); (ii) marine environment variability and change (eutrophication, river inputs and ocean climate change impacts); (iii) emergency management (oil spills); and (iv) preservation of natural resources and biodiversity (Marine Protected Areas).
