Innovative sediment management for a SUstaiNable Danube black SEa system
(SUNDANSE)
Objectives
The SUNDANSE project aims to:
- Analyse the environmental impact and mitigation responses to sediment disruption in the Danube river.
- Map critical points for sedimentation, erosion and toxicity.
- Measure sediment disruption using on-vessel prototypes and develop a sediment management framework for the Danube River basin.
- Develop numerical prediction models of sediment transport.
- Develop (commercially exploitable) microplastic and toxicity analysis tools.
- Produce an action plan to upscale solutions for sediment management.
- Foster synergies with other projects and transnational cooperation.
ESC contribution
Main contributions of European Shippers’ Council, as a project partner, will include:
- Review of the state of the art (per partner sector).
- Development/exploitation of an handbook for sediment management.
- Development of an action plan for application and upscaling of sediment management solutions.
- Sediment management model: from river basins to water bodies.
- Use cases: definition of requirements, demonstrations.
- Use cases: management.
- Dissemination.
- Project management.
