  • Welcome to the BEAM information site

    Baltic Ecosystem Adaptive Management, BEAM, is a five-year researchprogramme (2010-2014) on ecosystem-based management of the Baltic Sea. Given that the many problems of the Baltic Sea are so closely interconnected, interdisciplinary research that combines knowledge from different fields is necessary.

  • Programme summary

    Ecosystem-based management

    BEAM is a research programme on ecosystem-based management of the Baltic Sea that combines and integrates Stockholm University’s successful research on Baltic ecosystems, contaminants, natural resource management and ecological models for environmental management. It is a collaboration of nine research units at Stockholm University, supported by the resources of the Stockholm University Marine Research Centre. The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute is an important national collaborator, as well as the ECOCHANGE programme, the joint Strategic Marine Environmental Research Programme on the Baltic Sea of Umeå and Linnaeus universities.

Communicate more!

There is no doubt there is a need for spreading BEAM information inwards, outwards and onwards. Recently a communication work group was initiated by Network Coordinator Thorsten Blenckner.
