Kosterhavet national park - mapping biological values

The area around the Koster islands on the west coast of Sweden are part of a national park (www.kosterhavet.se). Together with collegues at the department of marine ecology, University of Gothenburg, I work with the mapping of marine biological values in the national park.

Kosterhavet national park - management plan.
