Among species that have decreased are common eider (Somateria mollissima), gulls, pike (Esox lucius), blue mussels (Mytilus spp.) Decreasing numbers of small-scale professional fishers and hunters have been noted. New regulations are leading to decreased quality of life in local communities in many coastal regions, e.g. Kalix, Ostergotland and Gotland. Municipal services become more centralized leading to closure of local schools.
