Fisketillgången

Fisketillgången is a Swedish environmental organization dedicated to promoting sustainable fishing and protecting marine ecosystems. Founded in 1979, the organization aims to influence policy and raise awareness about the importance of sustainable fishing practices.

The primary focus of Fisketillgången is to advocate for a sustainable use of marine resources. This includes advocating for quotas that ensure fish populations are not overfished, promoting responsible fishing methods, and encouraging the use of fish that are not overfished. The organization also works to reduce bycatch, which is the unintentional capture of non-target species, and to promote the use of fish that are not overfished.

Fisketillgången engages in various activities to achieve its goals. These include conducting research, publishing reports, and organizing campaigns to raise public awareness. The organization also works closely with other environmental groups, policymakers, and the fishing industry to promote sustainable practices.

One of the key initiatives of Fisketillgången is the "Fisk i balans" campaign, which aims to promote a balanced approach to fishing. This includes advocating for a reduction in the amount of fish caught, particularly for species that are overfished, and promoting the use of fish that are not overfished.

Fisketillgången also works to promote the use of fish that are not overfished. This includes advocating for the use of fish that are not overfished in restaurants and other food service establishments, and promoting the use of fish that are not overfished in the food industry.

In addition to its advocacy work, Fisketillgången also provides education and training to fishermen and other stakeholders. This includes providing information on sustainable fishing practices, and promoting the use of fish that are not overfished.

Fisketillgången is a member of the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The organization is also a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, which is a voluntary initiative aimed at encouraging businesses to adopt sustainable and socially responsible practices.
