Different ocean uses, actions, and management decisions reflect different values. They differentially affect the quality and thus shape the kind of oceans surrounding Norway.

  • What do we want and need from our oceans?
  • How do our actions affect these ocean values?
  • How can Norway achieve the ocean we want?

 We invite you to share your opinions! Engage in an interactive survey and a moderated discussion with 3 panelists representing diverse ecological, socio-economic, and cultural values of the ocean:

  • Hildegunn Foldnes, Fishmonger, Hildegunn På Torget, Slow Food Bergen and International Stockfish Society
  • Monica R. Langeland, Fisheries Biologist, Fishing Industry Expert, and Independent Consultant
  • Fredrik Myhre, Marine Biologist, Oceans Team Leader, WWF Norway and Founder, Help the Sharks of the Sea 

Continue the conversation: Mingle over stockfish tapas delicacies produced by local student chefs. Learn about an initiative led by Slow Food Bergen and the International Stockfish Society to nominate stockfish for UNESCO´s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity List!

Our research project “Managing Ethical Norwegian Seascape Activities (MENSA),” hosted at the University of Bergen, aims to shape more sustainable and ethical management of Norway´s oceans by capturing what kind of ocean Norwegians want. Share your values and opinions about the ocean with your fellow Norwegians. Join the national conversation!
