The North Sea and the Baltic Sea are subject to climate change and are under increasing pressure of use. In addition, responses to changes in the catchment area are taking effect in coastal ecosystems. The goal of the KüNO research program is to improve the scientific basis for ecosystem-oriented, sustainable management of coastal resources and to make its results available to practice-oriented users. In its 3rd phase (2020-2023), KüNO includes seven collaborative projects with funding from the program "Forschung für nachhaltige Entwicklungen" (FONA³) of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
