Coastal ecosystems

Project CLEAN addresses the cumulative impact and risk associated with multiple stressors in High North ecosystems.

In the FOODCOAST project we investigate the cultural heritage dimensions of food and the relationships between the food producers, their resources and the ecosystems that they depend on.

The national monitoring program "Ecosystem monitoring in coastal waters - ØKOKYST" under the auspices of the Norwegian Environment Agency consists of several sub-programs that are divided into ecoregions. The program is part of the national basic monitoring of the environmental status of coastal waters and aims to monitor and map the environmental status in selected areas along the Norwegian coast.

The section contributes to increased understanding of how marine ecosystems are affected by human activities and how they should be managed. We are commissioned and cooperate with the public administration on the development of mapping and monitoring methods and tools for classifying environmental status in coastal areas.
