MARMONI – Innovative approaches for marine biodiversity monitoring and assessment of conservation status of nature values in the Baltic Sea

The project objectives were to gain an overview of different regulatory enactments of the European marine environmental and nature protection and their impact on data mining and reporting, to develop monitoring methods for an integrated assessment of biodiversity and the impacts of human economic activity. In practice, the effectiveness of the proposed methods and the analysis of the data obtained were tested, nature protection measures expected in the Baltic Sea were assessed and the obtained results of the project were integrated into the national monitoring programs and documents of the environmental policies. Measures are also taken to inform the society and the involved parties of the results of the project. The countries participating in the project – Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Finland.
