Sigríður Ólöf Kristjánsdóttir, General Manager Vestfjarðastofa /Westfjords Regional Development

The lecture explores the critical role of good practice, community involvement, and ethical strategies in the operations of large salmon farming companies in Iceland’s Westfjords. Emphasizing responsible aquaculture, it highlights how these companies can positively impact small communities and thereby their own image by fostering economic growth, ensuring sustainable practices, and aligning with local cultural and environmental values, ultimately benefiting both the industry and the community.
