Il est temps de protéger les fjords norvégiens et notre mer commune

A group of international environmental organizations is calling for an end to the practice of dumping mining waste in Norwegian fjords, specifically citing plans to release 300 million tonnes of waste into Førdefjord and 30 million tonnes into Repparfjord. The statement argues that these actions threaten marine biodiversity, including endangered species and Atlantic salmon, as well as the seafood and tourism industries. The authors highlight that the Norwegian Environment Agency, the Directorate of Fisheries, and the Institute of Marine Research oppose the plans for Førdefjord.

• There are plans to dump 300 million tonnes of toxic mining waste into Førdefjord on the west coast and 30 million tonnes into Repparfjord in northern Norway.
• The dumping of mining waste, which contains heavy metals and chemicals, threatens biodiversity, including species on the IUCN red list, as well as the seafood and tourism sectors.
• The Norwegian Environment Agency, the Directorate of Fisheries, and the Institute of Marine Research have all expressed opposition to the mining waste disposal plans for Førdefjord.
• Norway is identified as potentially being one of only five countries globally that still permit the disposal of mining waste in underwater environments.
