Holders of licenses for inshore Olympic fishing for cod and halibut can use their 2025 licenses until 31 January 2026.

This is announced by the Ministry of Fisheries, Catching, Agriculture and Self-Sufficiency.

Head of department in the department's fisheries department, Katrine Kærgaard, says that this is due to great work pressure, due to illness among other things, while applications for Olympic fishing come in and are processed as a matter of priority.

Naalakkersuisut decided on the TAC for coastal fisheries on 11 December 2025.
