GES4SEAS will inform and guide marine governance in minimizing human pressures and their impacts on marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, while maintaining the sustainable delivery of ecosystem services. This will be achieved through developing an innovative and flexible toolbox, tested, validated, demonstrated and upscaled, in the context of adaptive Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM). This will allow competent authorities to assess and predict the effect of multiple stressors (including climate change) and pressures from human activities, at the national, sub-regional, regional and European level. This will ensure they achieve Good Environmental Status (MSFD), and support different policies at national, European and global levels (e.g. BHD, Biodiversity Strategy, SDG). This will be achieved by integrating stakeholders and the key competent authorities in a Practitioner Advisory Board, in co-creating and validating the toolbox and the EBM approach. In this, we focus on real problem solving and following an iterative and incremental development approach. This will allow GES4SEAS to achieve Technological and Societal Readiness Levels 6, since our solutions will be tested and demonstrated at 11 Learning Sites (LSs) covering important regions and environments. These LSs have been selected to explore geographical specificities, in the four regional seas, with regards to the impacts of cumulative pressures (including climate change) on the functioning of ecosystems, and their capacity for providing ecosystem services, to ensure better management. This includes LSs to explore transboundary issues and a LS at pan-European scale, to explore comparability and harmonization across regional seas, and gain understanding on the functioning of transverse topics (e.g. invasive species, HABs and jellyfish blooms, and top predators). Finally, to internationalize outputs, we have included a LS in the Caribbean Sea, in relation to the SDGs framework and intense extreme events.

GES4SEAS将为海洋治理提供信息和指导，以最大限度地减少人类压力及其对海洋生物多样性和生态系统功能的影响，同时保持生态系统服务的可持续提供。这将通过在适应性生态系统管理的背景下开发一个创新和灵活的工具箱来实现。这将使主管当局能够在国家、次区域、区域和欧洲各级评估和预测多种压力源（包括气候变化）和人类活动压力的影响。这将确保他们实现良好环境状态（MSFD），并支持国家，欧洲和全球层面的不同政策（例如BHD，生物多样性战略，SDG）。这将通过将利益攸关方和主要主管当局纳入从业人员咨询委员会，共同创建和验证工具箱和循证管理方法来实现。在这方面，我们关注于真实的问题解决，并遵循迭代和增量开发方法。这将使GES4SEAS达到技术和社会准备水平6，因为我们的解决方案将在覆盖重要地区和环境的11个学习站点（LS）进行测试和演示。选择这些陆地系统是为了探讨四个区域海洋在累积压力（包括气候变化）对生态系统功能的影响及其提供生态系统服务的能力方面的地理特性，以确保更好的管理。这包括探讨跨界问题的LS和泛欧范围的LS，以探讨区域海洋之间的可比性和协调性，并了解横向专题（例如入侵物种、有害生物和水母水华以及顶级捕食者）的运作。最后，为了使产出国际化，我们在加勒比海纳入了一个与可持续发展目标框架和严重极端事件有关的LS。
