Saltstraumen is one of the most unique places I have ever dived. The beauty and uniqueness of the life and the nature is really one of a kind. Here you can experience the strongest tides in the world and just that makes it amazing to visit.
There is an abundance of life in the water which I as a diver could spend hours and hours observing and filming. But this also attracts a lot of recreational anglers, and this has been increasing the recent years.
Saltstraumen is a protected marine area in Norway. This should imply that it is kept as a protected and calm location for animal and nature. And by regulations it is of course not allowed to leave trash in this area. But at the same time recreational fishing and angling is allowed as most places in Norway. And this is the dilemma. Because in the strong currents it is not everything that the recreational anglers bring back from the waters and that is having a huge impact on the nature under water.
