Matís, Nofima in Norway and Syntesa in the Faroe Islands are currently working on a project aimed at examining the impact of fisheries legislation on jobs and residence in Iceland, Norway and the Faroe Islands.
The project is funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers and is intended to provide basic information on the economic and social impact of fisheries legislation on the countries' fisheries, and especially on the more scattered settlements.
It is hoped that the results will be available by mid-2018 and will then be used by the Nordic Council of Ministers and other stakeholders to better understand the impact of fisheries legislation on residence in these countries.
