Respecting the sea: codfish and marine resource management

Atlantic Cod has been travelling between the Barents Sea and Lofoten since the beginning of our memory - but will this journey (including the rich annual catches) last? How do we live with the fish and respect it as a food source within its ecosystem?

How do we change approach to how we manage, look and interact with the sea? What does the studies and practices around codfish management tell us about alternatives approaches to the sea?

With this talk, we want to explore the stories of fish and people and the relationship and connection between humans and fish. Our international speakers will look at the main points and actions to make this relationship sustainable.

This talk will explore solutions to the UN goal: #12 Responsible consumption and production.
