During 3 weeks of July the well know expert Glyn Sharp has been collecting macro-algae and weighing biomass on shores and islands. His goal is to learn more about the effects of harvesting on the biomass in Breidafjordur. Thorverk supplies boats and equipment for the short trips. His assistant is from NAVE, the Research Centre of the Wstfjords, Mrs Hafdís Sturlaugsdóttir. She claims that the research has taught her alot about the ecosystem of the fjord and the environment. Otherwise Hafdís is well know for her vegetation mapping in the Westfjrods.
