New Water Ways
The project New Water Ways researches and explores ways to move beyond today’s conventional urban water management (UWM), particularly stormwater management.
DESTRESS
DESTRESS is a synthesis project based on existing monitoring data of European streams and rivers with the overall objective to provide guidance and knowledge to balance freshwater needs between riverine biodiversity and society needs.

Restoration transformed sea urchin desert into rich forest
In Porsangerfjorden in Finnmark, large-scale sea urchin removal has restored the kelp forest on a former marine desert landscape. Almost ten years after the sea urchins were removed, the project can report that millions of kelp plants and billions of small animals are still occurring.

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

S-UMMATION
Practical knowledge about nature-based solutions in the the Nordic countries from eight different pilot projects.
Can marine biological concrete promote marine life in offshore wind farms?
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.
