Management plans

The Government of Greenland works at an overall level to secure more efficient and stable fisheries management in Greenland, in order to ensure the best possible utilisation of the common fishery resources to the benefit of the entire Greenlandic community. Consequently, the Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting and Agriculture works to draw up management plans for all of the fisheries, both coastal and offshore.
