59. Several persons in different institutes of all three countries have contributed to the planning, sampling and implementing of this study. In particular we wish to thank Stainar Sandoy, Brit Lisa Skjelkvåle, Arne Henriksen, Gunnel Østborg, Anders Wilander, Simon Ridderborg, Jaakko Mannio and Jussi Vuorenmaa. Further, we also want to thank all the environmental authors and private people who helped in carrying out the postal survey. For financial support in national level we want to thank the Directorate for Nature Management in Norway, Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Swedish National Board of Fisheries and in Finland the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Finally, we wish to thank the Nordic Council of Ministers for financial support of this project.
