The North East Atlantic hosts some of Europe’s flagship sustainable fisheries, with increasing numbers of stocks being fished at Maximum Sustainable Yield. However, this region is politically and biologically complex, and facing further challenges as key commercial fish stocks start to shift in range and distribution under a warming climate. Disputes over the allocation of shifting resources have already been seen in the region – as in the well-publicised ‘Mackerel wars’ and more conflict may be seen in future, unless flexible, durable quota management systems are put in place to secure long-term sustainability, regardless of biological fluctuations.

Sweden is a vocal and influential country when it comes to sustainable fishing practices within Europe, and has a rich fishing history. Swedish fishermen are already developing innovative selectivity measures to help meet the challenges of a changing industry, and comply with the phasing in of the EU-wide Discard Ban (or Landing Obligation).

Falling costs, increasing concerns about climate change and air quality and the development of global markets for clean solutions is driving change deep into the heart of the energy sector.
