Project Abstract
The proposed work will develop an integrative program for assessing climate change in the marine environment in Ireland and the impacts this has on Biodiversity, Ecosystems and Food Webs. This project is designed to provide the link between current climate change research, on international and national scales, with the need to provide operational advice and support to stakeholders including the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), Irish Government, European Commission and international organisations (e.g. EuroGOOS, ICES, OSPAR). These goals will be achieved through Stakeholder engagement and cooperation leading to the development of decision support tools to provide the critical relevant information for assessing sustainability in the marine environment to facilitate blue growth. The work in the project will also form part of Ireland�s contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life Below Water) and support activities undertaken in the course of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).
