Örvar Marteinsson is the chairman of the Association of Smaller Fishing Operations in Iceland. He has been vocal about the negative impacts of proposed increases in resource fees on smaller fishing companies, particularly those operating under the limited quota system. Marteinsson argues that such increases could lead to job losses in rural fishing communities and further consolidation within the fishing industry. He emphasizes the challenges faced by these smaller operations and the need for more flexibility in regulations to sustain their businesses.
