The project will investigate if transformation and retention processes may have changed over time, and how coastal ecosystem services are affected by these changes. As a result, COCOA will outline management responses Last updated: Sep 07, 2018

North of Gotland, above the Landsort Deep, surface aggregates were found and also large areas with grains in between the Last updated: Aug 10, 2015

innovative measurement methods e.g. for phytoplankton and ocean acidification. High quality observations are essential to monitor compliance with the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Water Framework Directive.  One technique used is eDNA to investigate biological diversity among plankton.

Surface water temperatures were above normal in all areas. Surface salinities were high in the Kattegat and the Sound and an inflow to the Baltic occurred the week before the expedition. In the Southern Baltic Proper concentrations of phosphate were raised in the surface water. Otherwise, nutrient Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
