IceNews reports that Icelandic artist Björk has filed four lawsuits to stop the expansion of salmon farming in Iceland. She is using funds from her 2023 single “Oral,” created with Spanish singer-songwriter Rosalía, to support the legal actions.

The cases target a proposed fish farm and a marine spatial plan in Seyðisfjörður, the escape of farmed fish in the Westfjords, and a farm in Sandeyri that was built against a landowner’s wishes. Björk says the goal is to better protect Iceland’s waters. She has joined AEGIS, an Icelandic group that campaigns against industrial fish farming, and other environmental organizations in opposing open-net pen salmon farming.

Did you catch the shout-out Björk gave NAMA earlier this year?

This past spring, Björk spotlighted NAMA’s work in a pre-show slide on movie screens nationwide when her new film, Cornucopia, hit theaters in May. The slide featured Alaska sockeye salmon fisher and advocate Melanie Brown, and connected theater-goers to actions that support local harvesters, reject industrial fish farming, and uplift Indigenous Salmon communities.
