Synopsis (short abstract) This document describes the overall principles and main thematic areas of the EAF-Nansen Programme’s Science Plan, including the use of the research vessel (R/V) Dr Fridtjof Nansen as a key tool for fieldwork. Three main research areas are identified, dealing with impacts of fishing, oil/gas activities and presence of contaminants, and climate variability and change on marine resources and ecosystems. These research areas are then subdivided into eleven main themes. Data used for the research activities are collected through the surveys with the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen, including the data collected during the previous phases of the Nansen Programme.
