Lofoten Emergency Tourist Kit
The Emergency Tourist Kit is designed to serve tourists and "locals" in
the symbolic and cultural climate of Lofoten.
Major conflicts surround the intersection
of Lofoten's natural and political environment, most visible in the ongoing
struggles with oil production decisions,
fishing policy and the official response to ecological changes like the expansion
of introduced King
Crabs.
The Travel Office has channeled these concerns through the concept of "invasive
species." The broad definitions that categorize certain organisms as "native"
or "alien" are also used to determine whether something, or someone, is a problem
or a solution.
Are tourists an "invasive species?" What about the oil
rigs dotting the seascape?
What are the borders of natural ecosystems, and are they impervious to time?
