MARINE ECOSYSTEMS ASSESSMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Abstract
In this paper there are analyzed ecosystem status characteristics, pressures and impacts, risk matrix for a marine ecosystem . The methodology is a new tool for assessing the state of the environment [1], [2]. The results are descriptive indicators of the analyzed ecosystems, wich were calculated by classical methods and computer applications [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Using information about these descriptive indicators, the ecological status of the marine ecosystem was assessed, calculating the risk matrix [5], [6]. Finally, it can observed that in the marine environment, the reconfigurations will have a tailor-made impact. The most affected will be the Black Sea fauna. Keywords
