Over a month ago, we organised a stakeholder workshop as part of the GLOBAQUA project with the goal of identifying ecosystem services (goods and services obtained from nature – for more information see Millennium Ecosystem Assessment) and understanding how human activities within the catchment influence those important services. This workshop was the first stakeholder interaction planned for the project and I am pleased to present to you a summary of what happened on that day.
So what is GLOBAQUA? Well, it is a project funded by the Seventh EU Framework Programme under the full title Managing the effects of multiple stressors on aquatic ecosystems under water scarcity.
