Improving the Understanding of the Danube River Impact on the Status of the Black Sea
For the first time, this report makes use of available data to assess the impact of the Danube River on the North Western Shelf of the Black Sea and examines the pragmatism of a series of environmental indicators, originally agreed by the Black Sea-Danube Joint Technical Working Group (JTWG) for doing this. The inability to establish baseline (reference) conditions meant that rather than a true impact assessment, a spatial ‘state of the environment’ comparative approach had to be adopted.
