About the project
This project, focusing on the Skagerrak, Kattegat and Oslofjord (SKO) marine regions, is a collaborative marine research project which aims to improve marine sustainability and our understanding of the dynamics in the coastal zone where land and open sea meet.
This project aligns with multiple UN development goals, looking into how multiple anthropogenic stressors affecting water quality, human recreation and marine life. By combining expertise and long-standing competence within ecology and food web interactions, population dynamics together with biogeochemistry, oceanography and mathematical and statistical ecosystem modelling, we aim to close knowledge gaps needed for improved restoration and conservation management programs.
The project is led by the Section for Aquatic Biology and Toxicology (AQUA) at the Department of Biosciences.
