BAMBI - Baltic Sea Marine Biodiversity

Research project

Short description

The goal of BAMBI - Baltic Sea Marine Biodiversity – is to assess and improve capacities of marine species to deal with the current challenge of a rapidly changing Baltic Sea environment. To reach this goal we need to understand the potential of organisms to evolve new adaptations and how management should be framed to support this. The project has ended.

Baltic Sea Genetics for Managers

The project Bonus Bambi compiled genetic data on key species in the Baltic Sea. This data is presented on the website BaltGene, together with advice for management and conservation of genetic biodiversity.
