MAIN EU POLICY(IES) TARGETED BACKGROUND Eutrophication poses the biggest threat to the Finnish inland and coastal waters, with highest nutrient loads from agriculture. Climate change may the strengthen symptoms of eutrophication. At present, the planning of WFD programs of measures is based on data retrieval, analyses, decision and dissemination protocols which are not fully compatible and optimal for the cost-efficient and participatory implementation of WFD. AIMS The GISBLOOM project will demonstrate integrated methods and web-services which are compatible and optimal in the identification of cost efficient program of measures and in the engagement of public to participatory monitoring and management. MAIN EU POLICY(IES) TARGETED Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC) Nitrates Directive 2.1.2019 Olli Malve, SYKE

THEMES in DEMONSTRATION Conceptual modeling of scenarios and causal linkages Estimation of internal loading and corresponding effects Estimation of non-point loading and corresponding effects Modeling of recovery from eutrophication and forecasting of algal blooms Identification of cost-efficient program of measures – estimation of socio-economic impacts Ecological classification based on model forecasts Implementation of GIS services for monitoring of algal blooms Implementation of integrated participatory Web services and tools for managers and stakeholders 2.1.2019 Olli Malve, SYKE
