One of the fishing ports in Zealand is Rødvig on Stevns in Køge Bay. The port has been a fishing port for over 100 years, but developments have meant that today it is very similar to its heyday, when cod fishing in the Baltic Sea was at its peak. Today, few vessels dock in the fishing port. The locals have few large vessels and they are supplemented by a number of dinghies and bottom fishing. Just like in many places in the country, fishermen have been hit hard not only by the reduction in quotas, which were sharply reduced in the Baltic Sea in 2018 but were increased in 2019. The seals in Køge Bay are also making life difficult for fishermen in the area. They cannot compete with the seals, who eat large amounts of fish every day. The harbor is still a fishing harbor, and in addition to the cold storage, ice plant and landing facility for herring, the harbor has also become a harbor for offshore vessels working on Kriegers Flak, as can be seen in the video. #rødvig #dkfisk #fishingharbour #cod #balticsea #rødvig_fishingharbour
