It is easy to be awed by all the things around you as you travel through the beautiful Oslo Fjord, but have you thought about what can be found underneath us? You might think of fish, crabs, and seaweed, but just as it is above the sea line, the underwater kingdom is also teeming with life, stories, and mysteries that we only know the tip of. The water and seabed are a biological treasure chest which we need to protect and harvest in a sustainable way. The environment and availability of food for the species that live here have changed. Attributable, both to man made changes and natural variations in the environment. This can be seen here as cod have all but disappeared from the Oslo fjord. If the treasure chest is to be preserved then more regulations will be needed to restrict the effect of people on the fjord, which could for example entail a ban on the fishing of cod, lobster, and other species. Other regulations include restrictions on boats. In Norway the cruise ship industry is in the process of being regulated, and new measures are ongoing. At The Fjords we take the fjord, fish, and the environment seriously and they are at the forefront of our development. Our 3 newest boats meet and go beyond current requirements.
