The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has now decided on this year's hunt for grey seals, harbour seals and ringed seals. Licensed hunting of grey seals will increase by 350 animals this year compared to last year, with a total of 1,350 grey seals allowed to be shot until the beginning of next year. The protective hunt for harbour seals and harbour porpoises remains at the same level as last year, with 200 ringed seals and 200 harbour porpoises.
For the second year in a row, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has decided on licensed hunting for grey seals and harbor seals. During this year's hunt, 1,500 grey seals and 630 harbor seals may be shot to reduce the number of injuries in commercial and recreational fishing in Sweden.
