Three unknown coral reefs are registered outside Frohavet in Trøndelag (mid-Norway) as part of the survey conducted by the MAREANO programme. One of the coral reefs are probably 200-250 meter long, while the other two seems to be a few tens of meters in extent.
“The EAF-Nansen Project”, in which The Institute of Marine Research plays a key role, is a great example of successful development aid.
MAREANO's spring-cruise with R/V G.O. Sars has now been going on for about one week. The purpose of this first part of the cruise is to complete the mapping of habitats, benthic fauna and pollutants in the Nordland VI area off Lofoten, while in the second part video-filming will take place in the Storegga area and an area between Kristiansund and Halten.

Climate changes may cascade through the food chain and result in new balances between predators and prey. We need to analyze observational data to reveal causal links.
However, if we also understand the processes involved we are better equipped to predict changes.
