The Swedish government proposes moving the trawl fishing boundary in the Baltic Sea from four to twelve nautical miles from the coast to protect fish stocks.

Bottom trawling would be banned in protected marine areas to help save species like herring and cod.

Experts, however, argue that these measures are not enough and stress the need for a broader EU agreement.

Environmentalists welcome the proposal but call for stronger actions.

The government emphasizes the importance of cooperation with neighboring countries and the EU for effective implementation.
