In an effort to protect salmon Tana river salmon (the river that borders Norway and Finland), the Norwegian government, in co-operation with the Finnish conservation departments, has moved to ban all netting along the open coastline, and to also reduce the permitted dates and times for in-fjord nets in the Alta fjord and Porsangur fjord - into which Lakselv flows where in-fjord netting is now only permitted for 14 days between 15 July - 4 August (Monday 6pm - Friday 6pm, not permitted on weekends.)
