Research into the impact of fishing and aquaculture on nature, the environment, and climate is set to receive a significant boost with a DKK 35 million grant (U$D 5.25 Million).

Among the areas to be explored are the effects of a trawl ban and the broader ecological consequences of fishing practices on marine habitats.
