GEcoKelp

The GEcoKelp project, focussed on Norwegian kelp forests, aims to understand the effects of multiple stressors, including climate change and human activities on kelp forests from the genomic to the ecosystem level.

NORSE- Biodiversity in northern European seagrass meadows

The NORSE project focuses on eelgrass meadows, which are important coastal ecosystems that are threatened by intensive human activity.

MARHAB – The Marine Habitats Project

Skagerrak and Kattegat - two corners of our seas strongly impacted by human activities after centuries of use. How are these areas affected by the loss of large predatory fish such as cod, halibut, and sharks that used to roam our fjords and coastal areas? How has the ecosystem been affected when those who used to control it from the top have largely disappeared? And what happens when they are given the opportunity to return?

FAIROD

The UN decade’s most pressing need is to find scientifically based management solutions to the existing and future challenges that the ocean, and thus humankind, faces. To move from the present assessments of much of the global ocean based on qualitative interpretations of selective data, to quantitative assessments based on trustworthy and shared data, there needs to be a strengthening of global ocean data collection, - curation, - products and -integration.

Sharks on the Move

"Sharks on the Move" is a collaborative research project funded by The Research Council of Norway between 2021-2025. It aims to understand the movement behaviour and space-use in migratory sharks to inform ecosystem-based management in Norwegian waters and beyond in times of global change.

LoVeOcean

LoVeOcean is a national infrastructure project located outside Lofoten–Vesterålen. 

Lofoten–Vesterålen Marine Observatory (LoVe) will send continuous real-time data from a fixed area, which can eventually be used to create long time series.

Fishery Forum

The Norwegian Fishery Forum for Development Cooperation is an informal forum for cooperation between Norwegian institutions involved in or with interests in projects with assistance to the fishery sector in developing countries. The Fishery Forum was established by Norad in 2003 and is headed by a group of representatives from some of the institutions involved.

Mareano

MAREANO maps depth and topography, sediment composition, contaminants, biotopes and habitats in Norwegian waters. The results of the surveys are available on this website, visualised through maps. A number of our partners also supply data and maps from their own studies.
