The Faroe Islands and Iceland extend their 2025 fishing agreement, ensuring mutual access to blue whiting and NVG herring quotas
Both countries will also continue their reciprocal access to quotas for blue whiting and North Atlantic herring in each other’s waters. This arrangement allows full utilisation of these quotas in the partner’s waters.
Additionally, Iceland will receive a direct quota of 1,300 tonnes of mackerel from the Faroe Islands.
Continued Collaboration Amid Global Challenges
The agreement reflects the strong partnership between the Faroe Islands and Iceland in managing shared fish stocks sustainably. The mutual access to waters and quotas ensures both nations can maximise economic benefits while maintaining responsible fisheries management practices.
This unchanged agreement provides stability for the fishing industries in both nations, fostering cooperation in a sector vital to their economies.
