27. oktober 20153Henning Wehde Outline Stakeholder needs The Ferrybox network in Norwegian waters and additional monitoring activities Data dissemination and web portals Conclusions
27. oktober 20154Henning Wehde Stakeholder needs Knowledge on supply of pollutants and undesired species Concentration and transport within the norwegian waters Monitoring of algal blooms, eutrophication and particles Air pollution Supply of pollutants from Oil and gas industry

27. oktober 20156Henning Wehde Stakeholder needs I Discharges and transport of pollutants to norwegian waters from all possible sources – From land and rivers – From air national and international – Long transported – Oil and gas industry – Shiptrafik – Natural discharges from the bottom – Suspension/Resuspension of sediments
27. oktober 20157Henning Wehde Stakeholder needs II Long term monitoring environment quality for coastal areas (WFD) Algal concentrations and changes in species composition Nutrients Soft and hardbottom fauna hydrography
