AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoMarine Pollution: University of Bergen researchers found that waters near the Great Pacific Garbage Patch grew brighter in blue and green wavelengths from 2002 to 2022.

North Atlantic Fisheries: Norway is among the coastal states urged to adopt ecosystem-based management for herring, blue whiting and mackerel. Overfishing continues as countries fail to agree how to share catch limits; the EU has also proposed cuts for depleted stocks. Floating Wind: Norway has awarded BW Offshore a NOK 1.94 billion Enova grant for a floating wind project, part of a push to demonstrate the technology and bring down costs. Circular Materials: Norwegian brand Norrøna and Uluu are exploring seaweed-based performance fibre. Norway has also nearly doubled its king crab catch advice after a year of conservation measures.
