Baltic Ecosystem Adaptive Management, BEAM, is a research programme on ecosystem-based management of the Baltic Sea. The researchers are experts from over ten research units at Stockholm University, and the programme thus combines and integrates the University’s successful research on Baltic ecosystems, contaminants, natural resource management and ecological models for environmental management.
Collaboration is the key
By coordinating existing projects and different disciplines in one research program, the Baltic Sea research can be further strengthened and will provide a better basis for policy decisions, directives and environmental targets. The methods that work, and support a functioning ecosystem management of the Baltic Sea, can be applied in environmental research in other sea areas.
