The Directorate of Fisheries is responsible for the management of fish resources in Norway, with a particular focus on sustainable fishing. The Directorate is working on mapping the fishing industry, with the aim of developing strategies up to 2025. This includes measures to strengthen fish stocks, such as in the Oslofjord.
In addition to management, the Directorate of Fisheries offers information on lobster fishing, including current rules and registration procedures. The Directorate organizes regulatory meetings to discuss fishery rules and involves both professional fishermen and fish reception facilities to ensure better regulations. They also publish newsletters that provide updates on current fishery-related topics, with an overall focus on the environment and the preservation of ecosystems.
