Join us to save the Oslofjord and other European waters
Pungdom UB helps the Oslofjord's nitrogen problems and knowledge problems. We create a sjøpung hotel, testify about the fjord's problems and engage young people through our environmental group Pungdommen. Together we clean the fjord
The Oslofjord is dying
The Oslofjord is dying due to excessively high nitrogen levels, littering, temperature problems, many nutrient salts, changing bacterial flora and much more.
Areas that drain to the Outer Oslofjord
The precipitation fields that drain to the Outer Oslofjord are practically the whole of Eastern Norway. In other words, emissions from 50% of Norway's population

How Pungdom helps UB
We solve the nitrogen problem, the nutrient salt problem and the litter problem.
Pungdom UB solves the nutritional salt problem and the nitrogen problem by setting up a filtering sea squirt hotel for the sea squirt species ciona intestinalis. Sea squirt needs more places to grow in the inner and outer Oslofjord.
Pungdommen which is Pungdom UB's environmental group does environmental actions such as beach cleaning, sea squirt workshop and raising awareness.
