Restoring the marine ecosystem in Porsanger Fjord, Norway
"[Hans Kristian] Strand runs the field station in Holmfjord, Finnmark, the northernmost outpost of the Institute of Marine Research. Right outside his office window lies Porsangerfjorden, the Arctic fjord he has worked in, on, and along for 15 years."
News story from northern Norway about how [overfishing a fjord caused ecosystem collapse, and the researchers who are trying to understand the collapse and bring back the ecosystem](https://www.thebarentsobserver.com/partner-content/troubleshooter-in-the-fjord-bringing-a-barren-ecosystem-back-to-life/447262).
Edit: markup failed and is unfixable on this platform. Will fix later today.
