Can the Baltic Sea become the Kingdom of Fish again?  

October 25, 2025  in Zoom

There are so many interesting and important angles related to the Baltic Sea and the survival of fish which have not yet covered.

“How is the situation for fish in the Baltic Sea?” You will get answers from one side that there is plenty of herring, no problem at all, and from the other side that the herring is on the edge of disappearing , as already happened to the cod.

Our webinar tries to give the audience a very true and clear picture of how trawling is done, where and to which extent should it be reported and what it means for the national economies and for the food supply in case of a national crisis.

Another subject could be the decision making process in EU and the ICES recommendations (ICES, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, ices.dk). The quote trade is worth discussing.

The difference between pelagic and demersal fish and fishing and their relation to the ecosystem as well as the difference between legal and biological overfishing are other interesting aspect.

BASRAN Board knows very well that the industrial fishing field is a controversial field with different positions among the countries around the Baltic Sea. For that reason the webinar wants to look for common ground and constructive approaches and to avoid a feeling of hopelessness when leaving the webinar.

Stay tuned - more information coming soon!
