114 PRESENTATION OF THE AREA<br />

to present legislation these Þ shermen are not entitled<br />

to any compensation, but Swedish Offshore plans to<br />

compensate the Þ shermen <strong>for</strong> the potential economic<br />

damage caused by the farm. Negotiation regarding economic<br />

compensation is in progress.<br />

11.12 Leisure fi shing<br />

<strong>Kriegers</strong> Flak was earlier known to house large cod.<br />

Within the area, anglers were using rods and regular<br />

Þ shing trips were organised. These trips were offered<br />

during three months a year (when the large cod assembled)<br />

and during this period a maximum of two to<br />

three trips a week were organised.<br />

As the large cod in the area has declined in numbers,<br />

leisure Þ shing has more or less come to an end.<br />

Nowadays only sporadic anglers/organised Þ shing<br />

trips occur during the months of May and June.<br />

11.13 Recreation<br />

The area is during the summer months passed by<br />

leisure boats. None of these stay <strong>for</strong> any length of time<br />

in the area.<br />

11.14 The Interests of the Armed<br />

Forces<br />

In the area south of the Swedish south cost, the Forces<br />

are engaged in reconnaissance and intelligence activities.<br />

<strong>This</strong> is mainly done by monitoring using radar and<br />

communication intelligence equipment.<br />

11.15 Cables<br />

A telecommunication cable named GS2 crosses the<br />

area. The cable is however not in use.<br />

Another cable has been identiÞ ed but since it is situated<br />

in the outskirts of the area, it will not have to be<br />

crossed.<br />

Marin Mätteknik has during their investigations<br />

discovered traces of something which is either a cable<br />

or a trawling track. If it is a cable, it is likely to be the<br />

above mentioned GS2 cable. The coordinates do not<br />

entirely match the in<strong>for</strong>mation about the GS2, but it is<br />

usual that this type of in<strong>for</strong>mation has a certain margin<br />

of error.<br />

For further in<strong>for</strong>mation about these cables, see Appendix<br />

4.5.<br />

Two different cables that are no longer in use cross<br />

the area.<br />

The DONG company has plans to lay a gas pipeline<br />

across the Baltic. Two different alternative routes have<br />

been suggested and one of these could have an <strong>impact</strong><br />

on the north-eastern parts of the farm (see picture<br />

below).<br />
