CeNoBS: Birds sightings in the Black Sea recorded by CeNoBS Aerial Expedition in 2019

Within the "Support MSFD implementation in the Black Sea through establishing a regional monitoring system of cetaceans (D1) and noise monitoring (D11) for achieving GES", financed by European Commission - No. 110661/2018/794677/SUB/ENV.C2, a dedicated aerial survey for marine mammals, sea birds and marine debris using distance line transect methods was performed in 2019 in territorial and EEZs of five of the Black Sea riparian countries.

The action was planned to support the further implementation of Marine Strategy Framework Directive, providing a baseline for marine litter/debris. The project was implemented with the involvement of the 10 project partners and was coordinated by Mare Nostrum and ACCOBAMS Secretariat.
