Most people think of invasive species only as a nuisance with negative impacts on biodiversity and costs to society. However, some invasive species may also bring benefits, making it difficult to decide on the management strategy.

EpicCanal will help identify the best management option for historically polluted site near Liepaja, Latvia. Norwegian expertise on contaminated sediments from NIVA and NGI will be provided to local authorities.

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

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.

IKHAPP collects, critically analyses and disseminates scientific knowledge to support effective policies and actions to fight plastic pollution globally.

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.

In the BEDREVANN project, we will study the impact of cyanotoxin-contaminated irrigation water in agriculture and the risk to food producers and end users with Akersvannet in Vestfold as a pilot area. Akersvannet is a highly nutrient-rich lake with annual blooms of toxin-producing cyanobacteria. Water from the lake is used to irrigate surrounding agricultural areas where vegetables are largely grown, and this can pose a risk to safe food production.
