Race For The Baltic has been granted 1,1 mSEK for Lokala vattenvårdsprojekt (LOVA) from Blekinge Länsstyrelse, to conduct a project together with SLU and Life IP Rich Waters. The grant will be used for collection of data in two bays in Blekinge County, including measurements of water flows as well as water and sediment analysis.

The purpose of the project is to further develop a national model that has been developed within the EU Life project Rich Waters to assess and reduce the internal load of phosphorus in Swedish lakes. The collected data will be used to further develop the tool to also include brackish water environments in bays in the Baltic Sea. The goal is that it will be possible to use the tool also for decisions on measures to be taken against internal load in bays.
