Ecosystems and Environment

The knowledge we at SLU Aqua develop about the ecosystems in our waters can be used directly in the management of seas, lakes and watercourses. Therefore, our research is also intertwined with our environmental monitoring and analysis. Why are some species declining and others increasing? What does a balanced ecosystem look like and can such be recreated?

Environmental compensation

Environmental compensation has potential to contribute to environmental objectives. ECOCOA explores how compensation can be applied.
