The Danish Small-Scale Low-Impact Fishers’ Association and Producer Organisation assists small-scale fisheries adjust to environmental changes brought on by climate change and prepares them for the green transition.
NaturSkånsom
Some FSK-PO members use the NaturSkånsom (Naturally Low-Impact) label on their catches. NaturSkånsom is government-backed, giving the label a high degree of credibility in Denmark. Criteria that the fisher and the vessel must meet to use the label contribute to lowering emissions in the fishery.
For example, fish must be caught from healthy stocks with low-impact gear, the vessel cannot exceed 17 m in length, and 80% of its fishing trips in a calendar year must be less than 48 hours. Many of these criteria also contribute to the green transition. Currently, however, only 10-15 of the organization’s 100 members use the label.
