Last September, Matís hosted a conference on marine settlements, small boat fishing and regional development on the North Atlantic. The conference was held in connection with the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition and the Icelandic Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
The conference was sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers, but in addition to Matís, a number of people were involved in the preparation and implementation of the conference. These include national associations of small boat owners in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland, as well as researchers and private companies in these same countries.

All presentations at the conference are now available at project website, both in pdf format and video recordings. It has also been published report with all the presentations of the conference and a booklet with excerpts from all the presentations.
