Baltic Bohai Chesapeake Bengal Catchment

Collaborative Project Overview

Project objective is Establish a communications network for the sharing of current and future policy and implementation approaches, scientific data, metrics and innovative technology to mutually accelerate achievement of water quality goals in each of the catchments. Although these water bodies lie in different regions of the world, they all face similar challenges from eutrophication; much can be gained by mutual sharing of information on research, policies, and implementation successes.

The initial phase of the project is to connect pertinent representatives (NGOs, Research Institutes, Policy/Government) to

investigate parallels between water quality improvement efforts in the Baltic Sea,

Bohai

Sea, Bay of Bengal

and Chesapeake Bay. It is proposed that we convene a seminar once a year in each of the catchments, beginning with the

Baltic Sea

in the

spring

of 2018 .

T

he outcomes for these seminars

sharing of research data

an increased understanding of policy that have worked in other catchments

technological advancements for more effective implementation

A network and web-based portal between the catchments will be developed to continue the sharing of information and collaboration on research, policy and technology development efforts to promote water qualitySlide6

Framework and ConceptOur SDG frameworkUN Sustainable Development Goals will serve as a strategic policy framework for the project - Goal 6 Clean Water and sanitation, Goal 14 Life below water.

Our sustainability concept: Blue Economy: Growth and Innovation Potential The concept of a "blue economy" from the

Rio+20 Conference emphasizes conservation and sustainable management, based on the premise that healthy ocean ecosystems are more productive and a must for sustainable ocean-based economies.Slide7

Working MethodThree year incubatorDuring the next three years the BBC CC- project will function as an “incubator” with an annual  event in each region:

Starting in Sweden 2018 and followed up in China, US and India the following years.Slide8

Suggested TargetsA 2020-2030 agendaThe aim of the incubator phase, is to

(1) identify common areas and projects within the areas of research, innovation, finance and technology solutions (2) develop a joint action agenda for the period 2020-2030 which will identify concrete actions to take place in this new global knowledge platform. This will build on already existing programs, such asthe FAO Blue Growth Initiative,
