BEAST - Black Sea Eutrophication Assessment Tool. A tool similar to HEAT (HELCOM) developed for the Black Sea into Baltic2Black Project. Due to the different area, parameters, and features, BEAST was calculated taking into consideration causes - nutrients (TP, nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia) and effects (chlorophyll a and transparency) calculated for each station. Between parameters and criteria, BEAST uses OneOutAllOut principle and EQR and gives a qualitative score - High, Good, Moderate, Poor and Bad. The threshold between Good and Moderate is considered as GES.

Due to the different area, parameters, and features, BEAST was calculated taking into consideration causes - nutrients (DIP and DIN) and effects (chlorophyll a and transparency) calculated for each station. Between parameters and criteria, BEAST uses OneOutAllOut principle and EQR and gives a qualitative score - High, Good, Moderate, Poor and Bad. The threshold between Good and Moderate is considered as GES.

BEAST integrates parameters based on their weight. In this case, we considered causes (25%TP, 25%NO3, 25%NO2, 25% NH4)) and effects (50%Chlorophyll and 50% transparency) against national legislation (Ord.161/2006).
