  Oslofjord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oslofjord (Oslofjorden) is a bay in the south-east of Norway, stretching from Færder in the south to Oslo at the head.
The result was that Norway never surrendered to the Germans, leaving the Quisling government illegitimate and permitting Norway to participate as an ally in the war, rather than as a conquered nation.
The Oslofjord is one of the nine venues of the Class 1 World Powerboat Championship.

 MD - National Policy Guidelines for planning in coastal and marine areas in the Oslofjord region   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The OslofJord region is the part of the country with the greatest concentration of economic activity and settlement, while the fjord and the coastal zone comprise the most intensively used area of open-air recreation in the country and contain important natural and cultural values that are worthy of preservation.
The trend has been particularly marked in the Oslofjord region, and has led to considerable deterioration of valuable elements of the natural and cultural environments and has reduced the general opportunities for recreation.
As part of this programme, it is the intention to systematically follow developments as regards use of land in the NPG-zone, to be able to evaluate the effect of the guidelines in practice.
