Kosterhavet National Park, signs
I was commissioned to depict two typical marine habitats which can be found in Kosterhavet National Park: a steep, deep rocky bottom and a coral reef of Lophelia pertusa. The illustrations were based on photos, species lists and the customer’s requests.

A snapshot from a deep rocky bottom: peacock worm (Sabella pavonina), excavated fileclam (Acesta excavata), sealoch anemone (Protanthea simplex), Barrett's horny sponge (Geodia baretti) and Norway redfish (Sebastes viviparus). These are some of the about 12 000 marine species which yet have been found in the Kosterhavet National Park.
The cold-water, reef-forming coral Lophelia pertusa is found in the deep Koster channel.
