Welcome to the MARMONI project website! We are pleased to introduce you with the main information about the project, its objectives, planned activities, their implementation and results. You can also find out more  about the biodiversity in the Baltic Sea, its research and protection of the marine environment.

 The project aims at better knowledge on biodiversity of the Baltic Sea, and therefore we will fill extensive gaps in knowledge on marine biodiversity and try to reach common understanding on biodiversity monitoring methods used in different countries along the Baltic Sea by:

  • covering full information cycle from developing innovative methods to collecting data in the sea to producing information;
  • performing desk studies, monitoring species and habitats from coast, boats and airplanes, as well as diving in the Baltic Sea and using remote sensing methods;
  • developing biodiversity indicators, testing innovative monitoring methods, producing marine biodiversity assessments and recommendations for policy makers;
  • attracting different stakeholders to participation in monitoring activities.

 Sincerely yours,

MARMONI team
