ONGOING AND RECENT PROJECTS
FISH STEWARDS
GeoViable is project and stakeholder coordinator and provides water governance expertise to the FIsh counting data SHaring for ecosystem STEWARDS project, led by Karlstad University. The project initiates the creation of an open database of standardized fish counter data and identify new innovative ways of using fish counter technology. The work has the potential to enable more effective river rehabilitation in rivers impacted by hydropower and support long-term riverine biodiversity protection. The project is implemented in a consortium including representatives from the Swedish Fisheries Investigation Group, TIVA and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The project brings together key stakeholders, from government agencies, NGOs to hydropower companies, to co-develop technical solutions and data-sharing agreements.
ACDC hydro
GeoViable is Work Package leader and reference group coordinator of this three year project led by Uppsala University. The project is focused on the implementation of the Swedish National Plan for Modern Environmental Provisions for Hydropower (NAP) where we explore how to effectively manage complexity despite conflicts of interest in the collaborative processes and court proceedings carried out as part of the environmental permitting process. This is done through an interdisciplinary collaboration combining procedural and environmental law analysis with environmental governance and sociology research.
