comprises a mulitdisciplinary approach aiming at developing interlinked and verified predictive modelling tools as well as state-of-the-art effect-assessment and analytical methods generally applicable to european freshwater and marine ecosystems:1to assess, forecast, and mitigate the risks of traditional and recently evolving pollutants on fresh water and marine ecosystems and their biodiversity at a river basin and adjacent marine environment scale, 2to provide early warning strategies on the basis of sub-lethal effects in vitro and in vivo, 3to provide a better understanding of cause-effect-relationships between changes in biodiversity and the ecological status, as addressed by the water framework directive, and the impact of environmental pollution as causative factor, 4to provide methods for state-of-the-art risk assessment and decision support systems for the selection of the most efficient management options to prevent effects on biodiversity and to prioritise contamination sources
