Combining fishers’ knowledge and monitoring data to understand the status of the blue urban commons in Stockholm City

Waterbodies within cities are often drastically altered by humans through construction, the input of nutrients and hazardous substances, and the introduction of alien species. Despite these interventions, wildlife can persist or in some cases even thrive in urban environments.

A recent study has shown that recreational fishing in European cities is common and that fishers motivation can be purely recreational or for food provisioning. Our study uses a combination of survey data from interviews and environmental monitoring data to better understand the state of the urban waters of Stockholm city and outline the value of inner-city waters for local urban fishers.
