WP 10: Mapping of the actors involved in the evaluation of biological hazards in aquatic ecosystems

The objectives of WP 10 are to prepare the ground for WP 11, which seeks to assess how the key actors perceive biological hazards in aquatic ecosystems. Before these insights can be provided – and guidelines for changing the actors’ perceptions and actions produced –, the actors involved in the evaluation of biological hazards in aquatic ecosystems must be identified, which represents the objective of this WP. The proceeding outline here corresponds to the approach developed by Lang and Tosun [110], highlighting the applicants´ experience in implementing this type of research.
