Abstract

The coast and fjord area in northern Norway—mainly north of the Arctic Circle—is home to the indigenous Coast Samis, a branch of the Sami people who live in four different countries, namely, Sweden, Finland, Russia and Norway. They have been living on the shores and along the fjords of the Barents Ocean for thousands of years, with very well-developed skills and technologies to cope with the harsh nature of this northernmost part of the European mainland. Even though they have utilized the marine resources in the area for generations, they have never exceeded the limits of natural sustainability.
