At the same time, Norway has entered into several international agreements concerning fisheries, for example Kyoto agreement and the Gothenburg protocol. These agreements, for example, impose restrictions Norway's emissions of CO2 and NOx, also from the fishing fleet. In addition, Norway shares and fishery resources in teams with several other nations, such as the EU, Iceland and Russia. Within this framework, it is an important goal to have a fishing fleet that is profitable and environmentally friendly under a regime that contributes to the sound exploitation of fishery resources. Thus, a need arises for improved methods and new knowledge that can visualize the consequences of different framework conditions and technology choices. Such methods can help to give decision makers a better basis for developing the fishing industry in a more sustainable direction. Consequently, the concept of sustainable fisheries management is included in this discussion and fishing fleet centrally. Furthermore, the use of LCA (lifetime environmental analyzes) is currently widely accepted as a suitable tool for analyze how different solutions affect the external environment during their lifetime. Using this method allows the total environmental impact of a product, process or activity, calculated through all phases of the life cycle from raw material extraction through production, distribution and use, for recycling and waste management. Such tools are developed with others words with a "cradle to grave" perspective and can be used in an early planning or design phase for example to evaluate environmental effects of different conceptual choices. LCA methodology can thus help to uncover in which parts of the life cycle of a product or one process environmental impacts are greatest. It has been a goal of the program to further develop and use LCA as a tool in the fisheries sector.
The objectives of the program can be briefly summarized as follows:
• Development of a suitable database and information base.
• Development of LCA methodology adapted to the fishing industry.
• Mapping of reference level for sustainable vessel concept.
• Development of model tools for analysis at fleet level, including study of aggregate effects as a result of technology choices.
• Development of environmentally efficient concepts and verification of these in relation to superiors claim.
