Coastal Development
Norway has the second longest coastline in the world. This unique coastline comprises magnificent landscapes, fascinating marine ecosystems, world-class resources and historic coastal communities. SALT provides the interdisciplinary competence needed to secure proactive coastal development and to ensure sustainable management of our shared resources – today and in the future.

This week and next, we’re on tour with the “On wild Paths" project.Together with Einar Hallstensen Catering AS, we are visiting restaurant and food studies programs at upper secondary schools in Troms and Nordland. Here, students encounter ingredients, challenges, and opportunities they may not have worked with before:
- What should we do with species like pink salmon?
- Can sea urchins become a resource?
- And what role will the chefs of the future play in the sustainable management of the ocean?
We connect culinary education, nature, and hands-on practice, showing how challenges in ecosystems can also become new opportunities in the kitchen. The goal is to give students concrete experiences and inspire them to think differently about ingredients, resource use, and the role they themselves can play in the future. The tour is supported by Troms County Municipality (Arktis 2030), the SNN Foundation, the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training (Udir), the Research Council of Norway, and the Norwegian Fishermen’s Sales Organization (Norges Råfisklag).

We look back on inspiring and rewarding days during this year’s general assembly in the Blue Connect project.
The project addresses the need to protect and restore marine habitats and ecosystems — and to achieve ambitious international targets for protection and restoration by 2030.
Last year, SALT brought the partners together in Raet National Park here in Norway. This year, the gathering took place in Spain, where, among others, fishermen in Cabo Roche near Gibraltar have taken the lead in developing solutions to preserve fish stocks.
