About the project
NIFS participates with one postdoc position in this project on future developments and possible disruptive events in fisheries and aquaculture.
Objectives
Postdoc Guri Kristin Hjallen Eriksen investigates how the future control of Norwegian commercial fisheries can and should be designed from a legislator perspective. Her research includes multi-method analysis of legal limits and opportunities for use of different types of technology under the current control regime and in the current legal cultural context, including attention to the role of industry-owned fish sales organizations (forms of co-operatives) in the system. Eriksen also aims to identify and start to explore important legal questions that emerge with the rapid development of new technology, with particular consideration to outcomes of other work packages in FUTURES4Fish.
