This paper analyses the state of risk that should be measured by an effective monitoring system of marine accidents in the Black Sea from an economic and ecological point of view. The analysis is performed using a set of 15 ecological-economic indicators. Indicators represent a valid tool to support the decision making process in marine risk management. Economic indicators include 6 indicators on economic performance, 4 on productivity, 2 on costs and prices, and one general indicator summarizing economic sustainability. From the ecological point of view, 2 indicators plus one general indicator summarizing ecological sustainability are defined. Particular attention is devoted to the selection and analysis of sustainability indicators. The standard distinction among environmental, economic, and ecologic sustainability has been held in this paper.

In this paper we are presented the first early-warning system from the Black Sea-EUXINUS network. This represents a complex automatic marine measurement system, consisting of measuring instruments installed in key points of the western Black Sea, to monitoring coastal wave along Romanian-Bulgarian border.

Leaving from a definition of risk (involving probability, vulnerability and capacity), authors make an introduction in the need to address oil pollution risk in the Black Sea, through proper and thorough organization of thinking. The most visible conclusion is that we have the knowledge in order to prevent oil pollution of the sea and we just need to action in advance, for preventing and not for intervention after oil pollution occurred. Following the risk management cycle is a good way of dealing the problem of oil pollution in the Black Sea.

The presented material contains the results of an experiment which determines probability propagation law of the electromagnetic field intensity near the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Examines the conditions of Frequency Modulation (FM) distribution in a specific radio channel and obtains mathematical interpretation of the statistics.

The paper presents a research of the radio coverage areas of closely positioned VHF transmitters. The radius of energy dominance area has been established in respect of the relations between the different transmitter powers. It has been established the virtual position of the transmitters. A methodology is proposed for calculating their position against another.

GS-ISSOL (Global Solutions –Intelligent security and safety of life) is a project with the purpose to improve the safety and the security of people on board the ships or any other place where a community of people works together. The system is consists of one main console and wearable bracelets which will permanently monitor the health activity and the presence of the wearer inside a designated area.

The beach from Mamaia, one of the most important summer holiday resorts, is located in the southern part of the Romanian coastline and has a length of 8 km. The southern beach of Mamaia, with a length of 3.5 km is protected against coastal erosion by 6 submerged "breaking wave" type dams. The strong erosion of the Mamaia beach began since 1977, when the north breakwater of the Midia Harbor was prolonged up to the depth of 10 m. To stop the coastal erosion and to increase the asset value of the coastal zone and the creation of new beach areas have been established short and medium-term measures that include measures to reduce the wave energy reaching the shoreline, including recharging of sand and works made to retain the sand on the beach (by repairing the existing offshore breakwaters and the construction of new shore-normal groins).

The paper introduces Philippines, the Province of Bataan and MAAP with emphasis on its geographically location in a typical coastal area. It also shows the Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) Framework and tools that are being implemented thru partnerships that are based on common objectives to build better coastal governance, increase awareness, promote community participation in coastal management and explore ways for dynamic and sustainable partnerships. This is a case study about MAAP and its being a member of the Bataan Coastal Care Foundation, composed of private industrial companies, supporting and initiating various environmental advocacies in the Bataan Province. MAAP contributed directly and indirectly to: Natural and Man-made hazard Prevention and Management (related to NATECH2016); Habitat Protection, Restoration and Management; Water Use and Supply Management; Food Security and Livelihood Management and Pollution and Waste Management. MAAP also contributed thru community projects and publications. Through varied approaches and entry points and in close collaboration with the local government units, MAAP, serves as catalyst in protecting the environment in Bataan either individually or collectively, within their respective spheres of influence and capabilities. Indeed a case point that could be explored as one of the strategies and actions for ASIAN networking on coastal management in addressing environmental issues like climate change. The paper ends with concluding remarks and recommendations as regards 2017 possible IAMU funded project that would address Maritime Safety, Security and Environmental Issues beneficial to the community thru Natural Technological Risk reduction projects or NATECH in partnership with AMFUF/IAMU members and nonIAMU members from Japan (Kyoto University & Osaka University), Thailand (Siridhorn International Institute of Technology of Thammasart University) and Indonesia (Institut Teknologi Bandung).

The EU is a leader in the world’s maritime economy. Black sea is an important region for the union. Recently some disasters occurred with lost of seafarers’ lives. A principle relative model is formulated in accordance with particular responsibilities of the participants in the maritime transport task. Conclusions that masters are overpressed and community maritime misunderstanding are synthesised. Some recommandations for closer cooperation are directed to Black sea countries public institutions, academic sector and maritime NGOs.
