EU, HORIZON Europe GES4SEAS: Development of a toolbox for ecosytem assessment methods for archieving good environmental status (GES) and assessing the overall effects of cumulative pressures. Projekt start 2022 The main objective of GES4SEAS is to develop tools that can help minimise anthropogenic pressures on marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and maintain ecosystem services. To this end, an innovative software (Tikta) is being developed, tested and validated using data from eleven different areas as part of adaptive ecosystem-based management (EBM). This should enable specialist authorities to predict and assess the cumulative effects of diverse anthropogenic pressures (including climate change) at national, regional and European level. This serves to ensure the achievement of good environmental status (MSRL) and supports various political goals at national, European and global level (e.g. HD Directive, Biodiversity Strategy, UN Sustainable Development Goals). MariLim is leading one of the work packages and is the main responsible for the development of the Tikta software.

Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Department Experimental Ecology New mapping of underwater habitats in the nature reserve Schleimündung Within a master thesis at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel a mapping of the underwater area at the seaside of the nature protection area “Schleimünde” is performed by using ship operated video recordings. The survey is supposed to give an overview regarding the mussel beds and especially point out possible changes, since the nature protection area “Schleimünde” gives shelter not only to numerous water birds, but also several thousand Eider ducks (Somateria mollissima), which use the area as winter resting place. For them blue mussels are an important food source. The data are analysed in a cooperation between university and economy by a student working at the company MariLim.
