Swedish coastal communities partly survive on small-scale fishing that is not harmful to the environment and uses methods developed by the fishermen themselves since the 1980’s.
“One of these fishermen is Alf Gustafsson from Fjallbacka, who is pictured on a stamp in the minisheet on the deck of his boat pulling in the day’s catch of Norway lobster.
Gustafsson works full-time with sustainable fishing and uses methods that are beneficial for both the lobster population and the ocean bed,” says Barbro Sjoberg, project manager at Swedish Post Stamps.
