Abstract(s)
The paper gives an overview of some of the large, shallow, semi-enclosed coastal systems (SECS) in
Europe, These SECS are important both from the ecological and the economic perspective (socioecological
systems) and provide many valuable ecosystem goods and services.
Although some of the systems are transitional waters under theWater Framework Directive, this is not
the case for all of the systems. The paper adopts a Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response approach to
analyse the ecological status, vulnerability and future perspectives of these systems in the context of
global change.
