Marine Management
Knowledge-based management is a prerequisite for ensuring that the marine industries of the future can continue contributing to job and value creation — on a local, national and global level.
The complexity of the coastal zone, with its rich diversity of habitats, ecosystems and species, means that sustainable management requires commitment and knowledge to ensure future growth and development. Monitoring, dialogue and regulations are also imperative tools for ensuring a sustainable future, considering the multitude of interests, stakeholders and legislation that are found in these coastal regions.

Fifty European researchers, along with nearly as many engaged local residents, joined when SALT and NIVA invited to a boat trip in Raet this week! The occasion was the general assembly of the joint European Blue Connect Project, which focuses on the effective and equitable conservation of marine protected areas.
Steadily guided by Trygve Nordgaard from the Raet National Park Visitor Center, the trip offered wind in the hair, glimpses of sunshine, and lively discussions aboard the M/S Øya. The goal of the trip was to share knowledge and experiences about marine protected areas – with Raet being one of 12 European protected areas included in the project.
