Viable ecosystem: themesIncludes the following from the BONUS strategic research agenda:Includes the following from the BONUS strategic research agenda: • Themes 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, i.e. all four themes addressing strategic objective 1
’Understanding the Baltic Sea ecosystem structure and functioning‘
• Themes 2.1 and 2.2, as most of the pressures to marine ecosystem originate from the catchment while the coastal systems serve as primary recipients and transformers of these pressuresp
• Themes 3.3 and 3.4, as ‘ecosystem approach to fisheries’ is based on understanding the ecosystem structure and functioning and biodiversity controls
Th 4 1 hi ill ll i i h d li i i• Theme 4.1, as this will allow incorporating the governance and policy issues into broad multi‐disciplinary research proposals, as well as to design research proposals with societal responses and driving forces as the central subject
• Theme 5.1, as developing the science basis of monitoring is a logical element for inclusion since themes of strategic objectives 1 and 3 address Marine Strategy Framework Directive’s good environmental status descriptorsFramework Directive s good environmental status descriptors
