Icelandic fjords: Natural biodiversity in Ísafjarðardjúp and pollution limits.
The aim of this project is to define natural biodiversity of Ísafjardardjúp, pollution limits, and potential impact of eutrophication. This will be done by studying benthic populations at specific locations, defining indicator species and monitoring algal blooming. Further, to estimate the accumulation of organic material and if benthic changes can be monitored visually by underwater cameras.
