the present input

The BONUS Programme is supported by the national research
funding institutions in the eight EU member states around the
Baltic Sea and the EU Research Framework Programme (Article 185).
Scientists from the Russian Federation participate in BONUS
research projects through special agreements. The Bonus Programme-
Science for a better future of the Baltic Sea Region For info on
BONUS see: http://www.bonusportal.org/ For info on EC Article 185

Slide 18
Key outcomes - 1 Soils2Sea will carry out a joint research
effort at a macroregional level with the following key outcomes:
1.New methodologies for the planning of differentiated regulations
based on new knowledge of nutrient transport and retention
processes between soils/sewage outlets and the coast. 2.Evaluation
of how differentiated regulation can offer more cost efficient
solutions towards reducing the nutrient loads to the Baltic Sea.
3.Analysis of how changes in land use and climate may affect the
nutrient load to the Baltic Sea as well as the optimal location of
measures aiming at reducing the load.
Slide 19
Key outcomes - 2 4. A high-resolution model for the entire
Baltic Sea Basin with improved process descriptions of nutrient
retention in groundwater and surface water tailored to make
detailed simulations of management regulations differentiated in
space. 5. New knowledge based governance and monitoring concepts
that acknowledge the relevant aspects of EU directives and are
tailored towards decentralised decision making and differentiated
regulations. 6.Test of concepts and tools at a hierarchy of scales
ranging from small scale (km 2 ) through medium scale (10 3 km 2 )
to the Baltic Sea catchment scale (10 6 km 2 ).
