OUTPUT TYPE | procedure |
WATER TOPIC | Consumption |
KEYWORDS | surface wates, wetlands, anthropogenic deterioration and climate change impacts |
MARKET NEED TAILORED | Water Frame Directive, Habitat Directive and Integrated coastal Zone Management, Marine strategy directive |
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION |
In the context of climate change, there is growing
evidence that many ecosystems could reach the
“tipping point,” at which sudden and irreversible
changes have important implications for human wellbeing (www.maweb.org). In this context, the
environmental issue of concern of the LAGOONS
project is the anthropogenic deterioration and
climate change impacts - especially the effects of
extreme weather events- on surface water and on the
ecological services provided by lagoons ecosystems.
Knowledge produced by different scientific disciplines
will be combined and integrated with local knowledge
and the views of stakeholders in order to produce
integrated, participatory scenarios (by means of a
qualitative-quantitative-qualitative scenario approach
supplemented with the science modelling inputs) of
future possible trends and conditions in coastal
lagoons in the context of climate change. The main and overall objectives of the LAGOONS project are to develop science-based strategies and decision support frameworks for the integrated management of lagoons, based on an increased understanding of land-sea processes and the science-policy-stakeholder interface. To this end, the project will seek to contribute to the EU Water Framework Directive, the Habitat Directive, the EU’s integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) Recommendation, and the EU Marine Strategy Directive.

STATE OF DEVELOPMENT | In Progress |
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES | seeks how to contribute to the EU Water Framework Directive, the Habitat Directive, the EU’s integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) Recommendation, and the EU Marine Strategy Directive. LAGOONS will propose actions to tackle bottlenecks in the context of climate change, i.e., LAGOONS will propose actions foreseen in the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy – A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. |

TRANSFERABILITY | Transferable as all procedures |
POTENTIAL USERS/CLIENTS | water companies, water authorities, research facilities |
BUSINNESS CASE | No |
Estimation of risks | |
INNOVATIVE DISADVANTAGE | about the project itself : still strong dissagreement along changes beig derived from anthropogenic sources or just natuallly |
EVALUATION OF RISKS FOR OUTPUT USERS | At this stage of progress i wouldnt sepcify that given risks are really a problem. Project is still in an early phase of development |
ECONOMICAL RISKS | Rates of exchange (EUR→???) - 8 different partners |
TECHNICAL RISKS | testing climatic change and influence on a natural habitat, different languages used - translation might be needed |
MARKET RISKS | - |
SOCIAL RISKS | - |
Steps ahead | |
NEXT STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS 'READY TO USE' | Accomplishment of researches, tests, translations of documents, organization of advertisment of the output |
TYPE OF PARTNER FOR THE NEXT DEVELOPMENTS | SME/Company, research organisations |
TASKS TO BE PERFORMED | Accomplishment of researches, tests, translations of documents, organization of advertisment of the output |
