In this project we develop better ecological quality criteria for acidification and eutrophcation for the water management.

The project is described on the Swedish version of this page.

Funding

The project is funded by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. The acidification part is co-funded by the Norwegian Environment Agency.
