Herøy Kystlag - Slippen

Those who appreciate engines and coastal history will enjoy exploring the former three-storey Brødrene Nerem Mek workshop in Fosnavåg harbour. Here you'll find boats, engines, photography - and coffee. Drinking coffee and exchanging stories, both real and fictional, is an important part of our efforts to preserve coastal culture. Here you'll find desks and signs, lighting units, medicine chests and nuts and bolts. And you'll meet people with a heartfelt passion for coastal history. If you’re lucky, you'll also get to see herring drying from the ceiling. Coastal life is preserved with the tradition of salt and dried herring. Sometimes the herring is sold in Fosnavåg's town centre, and is always popular. 'Bokna herring' is a popular traditional food here.

HAVLANDET`S FISHING HISTORY

Open boats, oars and sails. That's how you fished the waters for hundreds of years. Then, towards the end of the 19th century, more and more deck boats arrived, and the beginning of the 20th century saw the arrival of the motor boat. And that changed everything. Fishermen could venture further out to sea, and the new boats were better equiped to withstand the bad weather. The first Sunnmøre boat to take part in herring fishing off Shetland was from Herøy. The Faroe Islands and Iceland were next in line. There’s always fish to be found. During the abundant herring years of the 1950's, the fishing was literally on people's doorsteps. But when the herring disappeared, the fishermen had to go further out again, and it wasn't long before they found themselves off the coast of Canada fishing for shark. Competition was fierce and triggered both a willingness to take risks and to adapt quickly. The boats were self-equipped, and life became about beating your neighbour to it. More recently, the Herøy people have begun fishing north of Svalbard, west of Ireland and in the Southern Ocean - in addition to all the large sea areas off the Norwegian coast. Fishing is done in coastal boats, line boats, trawlers and 'ringnotsnurparar'. It is Herøy, along with the much larger cities of Ålesund and Tromsø, that has the most fishermen in Norway. And Herøy fishermen land seven percent of the total catch values in Norway, which amounts to almost NOK 1.5 million per year. Value creation in fisheries has a ripple effect on land, because the fish needs to be delivered and processed. The boats need rebuilding and repairing, and they need equipment on board, from high-tech kit to food and bedding. A workplace on board a 'ringnotsnurpar' provides two workplaces on land. The sea is the livelihood of the people who live in Havlandet.

FOSNAVÅG PARK

The park in Fosnavåg has a history that in many ways reflects the development of this coastal town and its community. Originally, this area was wild nature, swampy marshes, and a place to live. In the 1970s, it was brought under control and given plants and nicely laid gravel paths. The flat area was perfect as a circus space, and even had elephants wandering freely at one time. There was an even bigger event in the mid-70s. There is talk of as many as several tens of thousands of visitors who wanted to see the Kvalsund ship and the then-celebrities of the time such as Dizzie Tunes, Kirsti Sparboe and Per Asplin also visited Fosnavåg. The park was a natural meeting place with large circus tents and a stage. Over the years, the park slipped into hibernation, and was somewhat forgotten, to be later rediscovered by the residents of Fosnavåg and the municipality. It now boasts a large climbing and play facility together with a barbecue hut. The park has also been equipped with a parking lot for mobile homes and public toilets. The latest development is a new path. Today the park is a popular meeting place for Fosnavåg residents and visitors. You'll find children playing here, alongside young people having a barbecue and visitors camping in the mobile homes or their own caravans.
