Beskrivelse

The fishing industry in Denmark has seen an increased number of regulation changes in the last ten years; for example, the reduction of fishing quotas, different kinds of bans, electronic monitoring of trawlers in the Kattegat and landing obligation. These changes have had negative effects on the fishers’ influence on their work life.
This project investigates how fishers’ psychosocial work environment has been affected and develops recommendations for a safeguarding their well-being through future transitions.
We use qualitative and participatory co-creation methods. The methods include interviews, workshops and design thinking. To learn about fishermen’s experiences, we conducted 4 chronicle workshops with a broad selection of fishermen, representing different kinds of fishing methods, boats, and communities. The workshops provided us with stories and perspectives on their lives as fishermen and their working conditions. We conducted interviews as well.
The two forms of data sources provided the basis for 5 ethnographic stories that illustrate fishermen’s current work lives and psychosocial work environment issues.
The ethnographic stories and the themes from the chronicle workshops, informs the work of a group of industry partners, policy makers and stakeholders. In three workshops we co-create a set of recommendations to safeguard fishermen’s psychosocial work environment moving forward.
The project finishes by the end of 2023. The planned outputs are: ethnographic stories to illustrate fishers’ work lives, a report about the psychosocial work environment of fishers and a set of recommendations to safeguard fishers’ psychosocial work environment.
I wish to present our results and discuss the process and perspectives with the audience.
