The overall goal of DEVOTES is to better understand the relationships between pressures from human activities and climatic influences and their effects on marine ecosystems, including biological diversity, in order to support the ecosystem based management and fully achieve the Good Environmental Status (GES) of marine waters.
The outcomes of DEVOTES will contribute towards fulfilling knowledge gaps and existing needs in the assessement of environmental status, within the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, in an harmonized way across the Atlantic, Baltic, Mediterranean and Black Seas.
