WP3 Scenarios and management objectives

In WP3, different stakeholder groups will be involved in defining and prioritizing management objectives for Baltic salmon and herring. Emphasis will be given to stakeholders’ views and objectives related to the impacts of Baltic fish on human health. Achieving the objectives in the long term is influenced by a myriad of factors, most of which relate to different political, economic, social, technical, climate change-related, etc. conditions in the future. For addressing these factors, a scenario analysis is done by organizing workshops for eliciting expert knowledge for building scenarios for 1) eutrophication, 2) dioxin input, 3) salmon policy, and 4) the use of herring catches, in the Baltic Sea up to year 2040.

Objectives

1. Define objectives for integrated salmon and herring policy

2. Define pathways for reaching the objectives

3. Build exploratory future scenarios for eutrophication and dioxin input in the Baltic Sea, and for the use of Baltic herring and salmon
