In the Restoration Project we have now had discussions with 6 municipalities that have shown interest in aluminium treatment of lakes and bays. One of those municipalities has taken a decision to treat a coastal area. In Q322 the Restoration Project also held an inspirational day on internal load in Uppsala, an event that has been followed by many fruitful meetings and discussions with municipalities in the area.

As a result of our event in Nyköping, we have new discussions with five Swedish municipalities – on the technology to bind phosphorus in the bottom sediment. We will organize another inspirational day in Uppsala on September 13th, more information further down in the newsletter.

The 1,1 MSEK grant for Lokala vattenvårdsprojekt (LOVA) which was granted RFTB in Q1, has already opened opportunities to cooperate with an extended number of partners. We attended LIFE IP Rich Water's event to discuss how all the projects within the programme are proceeding. We see a value in how our project will contribute to a further development of a method to reduce internal load of phosphorus in brackish waters.

Race For The Baltic has been granted 1,1 MSEK for Lokala vattenvårdsprojekt (LOVA) from Blekinge Länsstyrelse, to conduct a project together with SLU and Life IP Rich Waters. The grant will be used for collection of data in two bays in Blekinge County, including measurements of water flows as well as water and sediment analysis.

With a successful inspirational day in southern Sweden in Q4 fresh in mind, planning has started for a new inspirational day in Nyköping 5th of May related to measures against eutrophication.

In the past quarter a lot of efforts were put into knowledge about the technology. During the quarter we have had individual meetings with municipalities, participated in LIFE IP Rich Waters inspirational event for municipalities, hosted an event for municipalities in southern Sweden and developed marketing material including a movie
