Göteborgs södra skärgård är en av regionens största tillgångar men står också inför stora utmaningar. Befolkningstillväxten är svag, barnfamiljerna blir färre och vardagslivet kan vara svårt för den som vill bo och arbeta året runt. Samtidigt är området tryggt, naturnära och präglat av starkt företagande – med unika förutsättningar för att utvecklas till mer än en sommaridyll.

Under årets Donsö Shipping Meet bjuder vi därför in till ett rundabordssamtal den 2 september om hur skärgården kan bli en långsiktigt hållbar livsmiljö och tillväxtmotor. Utgångspunkten är en ny omfattande undersökning framtagen av Infostat på uppdrag av Densify AB, som visar att göteborgarna ser tre nyckelområden för en starkare utveckling:
* bättre kollektivtrafik,
* fler prisvärda bostäder
* utvecklad lokal service.

Samtalet samlar ledande politiska företrädare från Göteborgs Stad och Västra Götalandsregionen, näringsliv och civilsamhälle. Målet är att ta frågan från vision till verklighet – och skapa en gemensam agenda för en skärgård som lever året runt.

Välkommen att ta del av samtalet under Donsö Shipping Meet 2025!

Chalmers Ocean Research Seminar: Unexpected methane emissions triggered by ship passages
At this breakfast seminar, Chalmers professors Ida-Maja Hassellöv, Johan Mellqvist and Rikard Bensow will present brand-new research showing that ships in shallow, methane-rich waters can trigger sudden greenhouse gas emissions from the seabed. Measurements in the Baltic Sea revealed methane levels up to 20 times higher in busy shipping lanes than in nearby areas. The effect is caused not by fuel type but by hydrodynamic forces – pressure changes and turbulence that disturb sediments. With many major ports located in similar environments, these findings highlight an overlooked emission source with relevance for the global marine and shipping methane budget.
