MAREANO - The Sea in Maps and Pictures in Norwegian waters

MAREANO maps depth and topography, sediment composition, biodiversity, habitats and biotopes, and pollution in the seabed in Norwegian coastal and offshore regions. MAREANO is coordinated by the Institute of Marine Research, in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Norway and the Norwegian Hydrographic Service. The Programme is financed by the Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Trade and Industry, via contributions from the National Budget.

The Programme aims to provide answers to questions such as:

- How is the seascape of the Norwegian continental shelf?

- What does the seabed consist of?

- How is the biodiversity distributed on the seabed?

- How are habitats and biotopes distributed on the seabed?

- What is the relationship between the physical environment, biodiversity and biological resources?

- How much contaminants are stored in the bottom sediments?

​​​​​​​​

The Institute of Marine Research, the Geological Survey of Norway and the Norwegian Mapping Authority comprise the Executive Group which is responsible for carrying out the MAREANO field sampling and other scientific activities. The Programme Group, led by the Norwegian Environment Agency, has the executive responsibility for the MAREANO activities.
