The national monitoring program was initiated by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and is now financed by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. Monitoring is performed by the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Data is stored in the Swedish archive for oceanographic data (SHARK) database, curated by SMHI. Information about the program and the methods are available in Swedish at the website of the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management https://www.havochvatten.se/vagledning-foreskrifter-och-lagar/vagledningar/ovriga-vagledningar/overvakningsmanualer-for-miljoovervakning/overvakningsmanualer/patologi-hos-grasal-vikaresal-och-knubbsal.html moreInformation about the program and the methods are available in Swedish at the website of the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management https://www.havochvatten.se/vagledning-foreskrifter-och-lagar/vagledningar/ovriga-vagledningar/overvakningsmanualer-for-miljoovervakning/overvakningsmanualer/patologi-hos-grasal-vikaresal-och-knubbsal.html
