The University of Bergen is participating in ENVINET through the 'Bergen Marine Food Chain Research Infrastructure', an Access to Research Infrastructures contract supported by the IHP programme from the European Union. Bergen Marine is a set of 7 complementary installations for studies on dynamics of the marine environment and for research on bio-production both in natural and culture conditions. The array includes both experimental and observational platforms, and among them, the most relevant for ENVINET is the Espeland Marine Biological Station. The Espeland Marine Biological Station is an experimental station and there are no long term series of environmental datasets. Several databases with long-term data series of environmental data in the Nordic Seas are available from the Institute of Marine Research (www.imr.no) Alternative contact/ENVINET contact: Clelia Booman University of Bergen Dept. of Fisheries and Marine Biology P.O.
