The Pelagic Association aims to preserve activity and employment along the coast, with a special focus on fisheries ownership of the fishing fleet. The association works actively with consultation statements and participates in regulatory meetings to influence decisions affecting the fishing industry. In addition, they have recently established a new branch in Tromsø to strengthen their work in the north.
The association awards prizes to diving clubs that contribute to clean-up efforts within the seafood industry, which underlines their commitment to the environment. They also cooperate with neighboring countries on sampling and regulations, and emphasize correct sampling and equal competition conditions in the industry. This work is central to ensuring the sustainable development of fish resources.
