The overall objective of the BERNARDO-project is to realize the full potential of marine carbon in shelf systems for the development of a sustainable Blue Economy, as a solution in the fight against climate change. To achieve this objective, a scientific breakthrough will be realized by quantifying all prevailing carbon fluxes in the BPNS through an innovative carbon monitoring approach. This will subsequently provide the necessary input to develop a high-resolution, fully-balanced marine carbon budget for the entire Belgian shelf sea, which would be a global first. By establishing this baseline carbon budget, we can assess the effect of dedicated Blue Economy activities.
","AbstractOtherLang":"Het BERNARDO-project wil het potentieel waarmaken van mariene koolstof in shelf zeëen als een klimaat-mitigerende oplossing voor de verdere ontwikkeling van een duurzame Blauwe Economie. Op basis van baanbrekend wetenschappelijk onderzoek zullen de koolstoffluxen in het BNZ gekwantificeerd worden via innovatieve monitoringsmethodes. Dit zal vervolgens de nodige gegevens opleveren voor de ontwikkeling van een gedetailleerd en volledig gebalanceerd marien koolstofbudget voor de gehele Belgische Noordzee, wat een wereldprimeur zou zijn. Dit koolstofbudget zal tevens als referentiepunt dienen om het effect van specifieke Blauwe Economie activiteiten op mariene koolstoffluxen te kunnen inschatten.
