The platform combines artificial intelligence, satellite, sensor and meteorological data to support the forecasting and assessment of climate and environmental risks, including flooding, coastal erosion, sediment accumulation in ports, and pollution caused by plastics and nutrients. <\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"BG\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: BG;\">The aim is to provide local authorities, port operators and civil protection services with timely and reliable information, including early warnings, easy-to-understand explanations through a conversational AI assistant, and concrete recommendations for action. In this way, the solutions developed within the project will support informed decision-making and contribute to strengthening the resilience and preparedness of coastal areas in the face of various risks.  <\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"BG\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: BG;\">The solutions are being developed in close cooperation with their future users and will be tested in four pilot areas: Crete\/Cyprus, the Oslo Fjord in Norway, Varna and the Danube Estuary in Bulgaria, and Cabo de Gata in Spain.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"BG\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: BG;\">By applying advanced digital technologies and artificial intelligence, the AETHERIA project aims to improve the understanding and management of risks associated with climate change and to support more effective planning and response in coastal and river areas.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 6pt; line-height: normal;\">Project Manager: Capt.
