Arctic Cooperation Programme
The project aims to increase understanding and develop of reliable informational resources of fishing activity in the Arctic and nearby Arctic areas. The project works towards informing gear identification as part of monitoring or removal.
While there is specific or localized knowledge on types of gear or practices in use by the practitioners of the fisheries, there is not a broad scale understanding commonalities or differences across countries or fisheries. By creating a map of active fishing areas and the gear that is used there, this project contributes to reduction of marine pollution.
PLANET ALDFG accounts for over 10 % of marine debris floating in out oceans. The project therefore contributes to a prevention and significantly reduction of marine pollution.
PARTNERSHIPS The project cooperates with various international partners, such as FAO, which is an unspecialized agency of food and agriculture.
The project period runs from April 1st, 2022, till June 1st, 2023.
