Artificial underwater structures often serve an important societal function but can have negative impacts on biodiversity by providing surfaces for colonizing benthic species that are significantly different from those found in natural habitats. The main objective of this project is to conduct a pilot study to test the potential of different materials for the re-establishment of marine life. We have chosen to focus on the quality of concrete (pH and porosity) in this project.

Practical knowledge about nature-based solutions in the the Nordic countries from eight different pilot projects.

The project will develop knowledge about the potential for ecological effects of offshore wind on benthic habitats in 17 areas identified by NVE.

The project New Water Ways researches and explores ways to move beyond today’s conventional urban water management (UWM), particularly stormwater management.

Increasing water scarcity is one of the biggest challenges worldwide. The reuse of the effluents of wastewater treatment plants constitutes a significant and constantly available water resource that can be used for purposes such as irrigation. However, municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants face an increasing amount of emerging pollutants.
