Grunda havsbottnar är ekologiskt mycket viktiga miljöer. De har mängder av olika habitat med rik biologisk mångfald och de är tätt sammankopplade med kringliggande natur. Miljön på de grunda havsbottnarna varierar mycket. Här finns bland annat mjuka skyddade vikar, öppna sandbottnar, steniga rev och grynnor och kala, exponerade klippor.
Länsstyrelsen Västerbotten and Länsstyrelsen Norrbotten works together in a pilot study in Skallön to eradicate the inasive plant species waterweed (Elodea canadensis).
The SeaMoreEco project was presented at the GeoHab 2024 conference.
Fourleaf mare´s tail (Hippuris tetraphylla), an aquatic plant that grows in shallow and sheltered bays, is critically endangered (CR) in Sweden according to the Swedish red list.
At the end of November SeaMoreEco arranged a meeting in Umeå for the project partners to discuss methods and share knowledge about remote sensing analysis and eradication of the invasive species of waterweeds (Elodea canadensis and Elodea nuttallii).
Field trip across the border to expand knowledge on the habitats of the endangered Fourleaf mare’s tail and leaf beetle. The idea behind the field trip was to see typical habitats where these species occur within the project area and expand knowledge on their habitat requirements.
The project had its first meeting at the end of May where we met up outside Piteå in the Northern part of Sweden.
