Cultivating Projects In Order To Provide Fishing Grounds

Areas where artificial habitats may provide magnificent fishing opportunities.

  • Professional fisheries in fjords and nearby sea areas:
    With the employment of artificial habitats inshore, in fjords and nearby sea regions professional fishermen may find favorable fishing grounds. Many will be able to save both time and money by not having to go far out to sea in order to find profitable fishing opportunities.
  • Professional fishing in rivers and lakes:
    Professional fishing is an important industry in several rivers and lakes. Pollution and human operations have unfortunately resulted in a marked reduction in fish resources. The fish resources, the size of fish and the number of profitable fishing places may be increased considerably with the use of artificial habitats. This will en particular apply to regulated watercourses where the river soil is regularly being exposed to erosion and where areas may be left dry for longer periods of the year.
  • Assistance to local fishermen:
    Building artificial habitats on the water's edge, in the fjords and nearby sea areas may help regions/countries to create local fishing grounds development aid may be used to create traditional working opportunities in local environments.
  • Sports sea fishing:
    Tourism is an important industry in many regions and tourists will always be interested in fishing opportunities. Artificial habitats may provide excellent fishing grounds. The habitats may for example be located nearby larger resort areas.
  • Leisure activities, tourism and diving:
    Artificial habitats may become fascinating objects for diving.
