The project is under the leadership of the ASEAN sectoral body ASEAN Working Group on Coastal and Marine Environment (AWGCME).

Research infrastructure
We deliver tailor-made solutions and facilities that enable NIVA's researchers to solve our clients' challenges in the best possible way.
Freshwater ecology
NIVA's sections on Freshwater Ecology have expertise in the monitoring and restoration of freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity. We develop knowledge and understanding that provide a basis for applied, evidence-based freshwater management.
Environmental data science
The Section for Environmental Data Science manages and quality assures NIVA's data and makes them available to NIVA's researchers.
Catchment biogeochemistry
The section for catchment biogeochemistry works to understand how various pollutants are spread in the environment and how they affect the water quality in rivers, lakes, and fjords. Our studies lay the foundation for and support political guidelines and improvements to reduce unwanted environmental impacts.
