B-USEFUL - Project Number 101059823 - Horizon-CL6-2021-GOVERNANCE-01

随着人类的压力和影响不断在我们的海洋和沿着蔓延和增加，欧洲海洋生态系统的生物多样性、健康和服务受到严重威胁。为了使生物多样性走上恢复的道路，从而实现欧盟绿色协议和2030年生物多样性战略所设定的雄心勃勃的政策目标，我们需要充分知情的科学建议和操作决策支持工具，使最终用户能够决定保护生物多样性的保护行动（例如，海洋保护区），同时寻求最大限度地减少与人类对海洋空间的其他利用（例如，渔业、海岸能源和航运）。BUSEFUL将开发和提供面向用户的解决方案，通过有效利用现有的欧洲数据基础设施和治理框架，为基于生态系统的管理咨询和海洋空间规划提供支持。这将通过实现以下目标来实现（此处以简短形式介绍），涉及呼吁和目标的预期成果和影响，即：㈠确定最终用户的需求; ㈡共同制定生物多样性指标、目标和设想方案; ㈢创建标准化的生物多样性和压力数据库; ㈣评估生物多样性的现状和累积影响; ㈤量化生物多样性丧失的风险和脆弱性; ㈥对生物多样性和生态系统服务的变化进行模型预测; ㈦共同开发一个互动的在线决策支持工具，用于对确保生物多样性保护的行动进行管理战略评价。该项目将包含一个共同创造的过程，所有产出都是由最终用户反复共同开发、验证和批准的。这不仅有助于建立互信和公信力，而且有助于在海洋管理和养护业务决策中直接采用和实施面向用户的工具和知识。

The biodiversity, health and services of European marine ecosystems is severely threatened as cumulative human pressures and impacts continue to spread and increase throughout our seas and along our coasts. In order to put biodiversity on the path to recovery and thus achieve the ambitious policy goals set out by the EU Green Deal and the Biodiversity Strategy 2030, we need well informed science advice and operational decision-support tools allowing end-users to decide on conservation actions for biodiversity protection (e.g., MPAs), while at the same time seek to minimize trade-offs with other human use of ocean space (e.g., fishing, off shore energy and shipping). BUSEFUL will develop and deliver user-oriented solutions fit for uptake and implementation in decision making by effectively building upon existing European data infrastructures and governance frameworks for ecosystem-based management advice and marine spatial planning. This will be achieved by delivering upon the following objectives (here presented in short form) addressing the expected outcomes and impacts of the call and destination, namely to: (i) identify end-user needs; (ii) co-develop biodiversity indicators, targets and scenarios; (iii) create a standardized biodiversity and pressure data base; (iv) assess the status and cumulative impacts on biodiversity; (v) quantify risk and vulnerability to biodiversity loss; (vi) perform model forecasts of changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services; (vii) co-develop an interactive, online decision-support tool fit for management strategy evaluation of actions ensuring biodiversity protection. The project will embrace a process of co-creation where all outputs are iteratively co-developed, validated and approved by end-users. This serves not only to build mutual trust and credibility, but also facilitate direct uptake and implementation of the user-oriented tools and knowledge within operational decision-making for marine management and conservation.
