Operationalisation of the novel assessment framework to evaluate the impact of invasive species on Baltic Sea ecosystems in the context of climate change

Kotta, Jonne

Abstract

The aim of this proposal is to fully operationalize and implement the novel framework to provide a harmonized and quantitative environmental impact assessment of non-indigenous species (NIS) in two case study areas: the northeastern Baltic Sea region, encompassing Estonia and adjacent regions of Latvia and Finland (Gulf of Riga and Gulf of Finland), and Oslofjord, Norway. Both regions are known for their significant NIS load. By deploying the framework, we effectively bridge the gap in current methodologies by integrating systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and species distribution modeling to assess NIS impacts under different data availability scenarios.
