Characterising Oomycetes in Brown Algae along the Norwegian Coast (OOMYCOAST)
The overarching goal of OOMYCOAST is to identify and characterise the diversity of oomycetes associated with three ecologically important species of rockweed in the intertidal and upper subtidal along the Norwegian coast: bladder wrack (Fucus vesiculosus), serrated wrack (Fucus serratus) and knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum).
CLEAN
Project CLEAN addresses the cumulative impact and risk associated with multiple stressors in High North ecosystems.
Coastal foodscapes – a place-based perspective on heritage rooted in coastal ecosystems (FOODCOAST)
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.
Ecosystem monitoring in coastal waters - ØKOKYST
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.
From Catchment to Coast (C2C)
How are northern ecosystems affected by climate change, and how do different ecosystems affect each other? This 5-year Fram Centre research program aims to provide critical new knowledge related to: (1) Cross-ecosystem climate change impacts; and (2) How to best integrate cross-ecosystem linkages into cohesive management approaches.
OBAMA-NEXT
This Horizon EU project will identify and develop innovative tools to monitor, map and describe marine organisms, from microbes to mammals and coastal vegetation, across different habitat types in European coastal and marine waters. OBAMA-NEXT will support sustainable marine conservation strategies and policies. Existing and emerging technologies are studied, including satellites, drones, ROVs, drop-video, acoustics, eDNA, and Citizen Sciences.

Marine biology
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.
