Patrick Berg Sørdahl

My main focus is on issues related to coastal zone planning, food fraud and resource crimes in the fisheries sector. I have also served as a member of the expert committee for the assessment of the trawlers’ system of duties (Pliktkommisjonen / the “Duty Commission”). I have a master’s degree in Urban Planning from the University of Tromsø.
