Angler's
paradise threatened by plans to dam Norway's Vefsna river
Norway's largest electricity company, Statkraft, is set to destroy the
country's last, great, unprotected river if plans to dam the Vefsna
River are approved.
The Vefsna is a paradise for anglers with its large populations of sea trout and inland trout, and has the second largest spawning area in Norway for the threatened wild Atlantic salmon. Statkraft's proposed hydropower plant may also affect
local populations of the endangered Arctic fox.
