Short description of the action
The aim of the NewSea project is to develop a new concept including several tools for assessing distribution and effects of hazardous substances (HS) discharged from several point sources to coastal waters
Such a concept and tools can guide future management with respect to estimating current conditions and finding solutions to mitigate the ecosystem effects in relation to various levels and discharge locations of point sources to reach a ‘good chemical status (GES)’ sensu the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The selected case study area is in the south-eastern Great Belt and Smålandsfarvandet, which is exposed to many different point sources and is presently in a none-good chemical status.
