Abstract
This Pilot Site is one of the seven selected as Case Studies in the BRIDGE-BS Project. The easternmost site has high-relief coasts and narrow shelves, with high land-deep-basin connection. The oceanography is dominated with the Batumi Gyre and occasional mesoscale eddies driving productivity. The site is a potential overwintering ground for commercially important fish species, making food provisioning the most important ecosystem service here along with recreation and tosurism. Over fishing, invasive species and marine litter are major stressors. The city of Batumi (Georgia) will be the main focal point for the Living Labs of BRIDGE-BS. Harboringthe largest stock of the Black Sea, fisheries is the focus sector here.
