Summary
The overall objective of this topic is to prepare and adapt the capacities for a coordinated response to new challenges linked to marine pollution, with particular attention to pollution caused by armed conflicts, by authorities/organisations in charge of marine environmental pollution response activities.
Detailed Call Description
The focus of this topic is twofold:
- Identifying specific types and impacts of marine pollution, including pollution caused by armed conflicts, that should be tackled, and prioritize the potential environmental risks (including hazardous substances, eutrophication, litter, noise) and the threats to marine and coastal biodiversity.
- Define training curricula for tackling the issues referred to in the above point, provided that these curricula are complementary and do not overlap with the existing ones.
Selected projects should carry out to the maximum extent possible the indicative (not exhaustive) activities listed below:
- Mapping of the authorities/organisations that are in charge of the marine environmental pollution response in the different Black Sea countries and the existing training plans;
- Identification of specific type of pollution, sea and land based, that can be considered as peculiar of specific events, including armed conflicts;
- Identification and monitoring of relevant indicators;
- Definition of the structure/elements of a regional database with comparable information/indicators;
- Mapping and analysis of the existing training programmes/curricula provided by EU based authorities/organisations related to sea pollution caused by armed conflicts;
- Definition of new specific training curricula for sea pollution, including the one caused by armed conflicts, both at Black Sea and at national level;
- Test new specific training curricula at national level;
- Implementing a regional training module, facilitating the exchange of lesson learned and best practices;
- Elaboration of recommendations on training needs to respond to sea pollution, including pollution caused by armed conflicts, in the Black Sea and on how, in the medium-long term perspective, these training courses can be adapted in order to integrate the existing training programmes/curricula on marine environmental pollution response.
