MPs propose new Oslofjord law to strengthen environmental protection
Six MPs have submitted a proposal to develop and enact dedicated legislation for the Oslofjord, modeled on the Marka Act. The proposers argue that the Oslofjord is in crisis, with steep declines in fish stocks and loss of natural values, and that the current fragmented management regime is inadequate. They contend that an Oslofjord Act would enable comprehensive, long-term management and establish stronger national standards for land use, pollution control, and nature conservation.
