Oslofjord
Oslofjord is a heavily used fjord system where wastewater, agricultural runoff, fisheries and other human pressures interact with marine habitats, food webs and coastal communities.
Boundary: This is a fjord-scale discovery object, not a complete condition assessment. Official ecological/chemical classifications, monitoring samples, fishing rules and restoration areas measure different things and remain separate. The ATLAS rectangle is navigation geometry, not a statutory fjord boundary.
