Introduction
In December 2017, a group of Skolt Sámi and Finnish fishermen travelled to Greenland for an exchange visit with local hunters and fishermen in Aasiaat, Northwestern Greenland. Here the Sámi and Finns learned more about the Kalaallit / Greenlandic ways and methods of conducting community-based monitoring and management.
