The money comes from income from recreational fishing, and the action plan has been developed in co-operation with a number of associations of enthusiasts.

“With just over 40 million kroner we are making a solid effort for fish stocks and the water environment. We are also providing good conditions for recreational fishing, which is a hobby for a lot of Danes and also attracts thousands of tourists each year,” said Esben Lunde Larsen, the environment and food minister.

“At the same time, with this year’s action plan, we are ensuring new knowledge about how we can get more fish in the waterways, without it being necessary to supplement them by putting more fish out.”
