Marine Nature Mapping Services in Norway

The Norwegian government is seeking services to create a comprehensive marine nature map. This map will serve as a crucial resource for managing marine areas, facilitating informed planning and decision-making. It will also contribute to national nature accounts and support preliminary mapping efforts required by marine regulations, which are expected to be completed by 2026. The project involves developing predictive maps of the project area, which will guide more detailed mapping of various nature types and their quality. This marine nature map will provide essential data for future mapping initiatives and aid in selecting areas for in-depth analysis.
