- Abstract
- This Pilot Site is one of the seven selected as Case Studies in the BRIDGE-BS Project. City of Odessa is the focal point and also Dniester river in Moldova are also part of the Pilot site. The site is located on the north-western shelf of the Black Sea and includes the area of the Odessa Sea Port and the Gulf of Odessa. Ukrainian botanic reserve "Zernov's Phyllophora field” is an internationally important area (4025 km 2 ). It is located on the north-western shelf of the Black Sea o n the traverse of the Dniester estuary, and deeper parts of the Dniester bank. The ecosystem services of PS4 are greatly influenced by transformed river waters, that are formed by the stream flows of the Dniester, Dniepr and Southern Bug Rivers. The site is relatively shallow (max 50m) compared to other sites, rendering it more prone to benthic-pelagic-atmospheric coupling. Hence the maintenance of these benthic habitats represents a key service along with food provisioning. Pollution from maritime inputs along with deoxygenation are dominant multistressors. Biotech will be the focus sector.
