Some difficult issues are mentioned later in this piece. It may be a difficult post to read if you are not in a good headspace right now. I encourage you to instead read any of the other SEAS blog posts. 😊

The SEAS fellows recently went on a short boat tour from the island of Sotra, an hour’s bus journey from the main UIB campus. It was very interesting to meet a member of the fishing community from the small town of Telavåg whilst there. He taught us much about how the economy of the island has changed in his lifetime – from one dominated by depending on oscillating stocks of mackerel, herring, or cod, to one where most working people are employed by the oil industry.
