Regions & Storylines
Throughout FutureMARES, project partners will create 40 unique 'storylines' that will showcase what the effects of climate change means for species in the environments we will study. These storylines will also include examples of effictive restoration, effective conservation, and sustainable harvesting.
The storylines focus on:
NBS1 - Effective Restoration
NBS2 - Effective Conservation
NBS3 - Sustainable Harvesting
Storylines 1, 2, 3
Norwegian Coast, inter-relationships among kelp, sea urchins and cod
Storyline 4
