A structured risk and opportunity assessment methodology, based on ISO-accredited industry standards to analyse causes, consequences, and management options for biodiversity change in marine and coastal systems.

Bow-Tie Analysis

Other

A cumulative impact assessment tool that combines with EcoFunMAP (Food Web-based Ecosystem Functioning Mapping and Assessment Platform). Integrates food-web modelling with species biomass to map indicators of food-web structure, stability, and functioning at scales relevant for marine spatial planning.

EcoFunMAP + PlanWise4Blue

Ecological

Uses a published methodology for estimating the value of marine environments at sub-national scales, for management purposes. Integrates natural capital accounting with spatial mapping of marine habitats, based on understanding of the links between habitats and ecosystem services.

B4M

Economical

A set of techniques to estimate the economic value of non-market ecosystem services at a target site.

Benefit Transfer

Economical

A simplified instrument for estimating the value of ecosystem services adapted to the available information. Three categories are considered: 1) provisioning (wild fish), 2) regulating and maintenance (global climate regulation) and 3) cultural (recreation and visual amenity).

EVTool

Economical

Model to integrate nutrient loading pathways, ecosystem responses, and management scenarios in aquatic systems. It provides simplified long-term simulations of scenarios across lakes, lagoons, estuaries, and coastal waters.

EUTROPY

Ecological

Environmental DNA (eDNA) from organisms is detectable in the environment, using shed material (skin, mucus, faeces etc.). It traces the presence of species without need for capture or direct observations.

eDNA

Ecological

The HG&OG Tool is an interactive platform that visualizes connections between European legislation, organizations, policies, and MARBEFES BBTs, making complex governance relationships easier to explore and understand.
