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.

This week has brought a wave of good news for SALT. The highlight was attending the Sparebankstiftelsen DNB grant ceremony on Thursday, where NOK 750,000 were awarded to our project, “The Voice of the Sea.”
Through this project, we will collaborate with youth in Kragerø to co-create an interactive exhibition exploring consumption and marine litter. The exhibition will be shaped by the participants' own perspectives, ideas, and creative expressions, making them an integral part of the experience.
The project will also include educational programmes, workshops, and events where young people can share their experiences, discuss the challenges of marine pollution, and connect. We’re excited to get started and look forward to sharing more exciting project news soon.
Are you wondering what the most common reasons for aquaculture location applications being rejected are? Join the webinar “Rejections, Uncertainty and the Precautionary Principle – New Insights into the Processing of Aquaculture Applications” on 25 June.
SALT, Akvaplan-niva, Nofima, NIVA and Aqknowledge AS will present the main findings from two FHF-funded projects examining rejection practices, knowledge bases, uncertainty, and the application of the precautionary principle in the assessment of aquaculture applications. The webinar will provide insights into key challenges in today’s site application process and present recommendations for a more knowledge-based, predictable and efficient management of aquaculture sites.The webinar is free of charge and open to everyone.
