Andrea Klitbo ApS

Andrea Klitbo ApS is a family-owned fishing company with deep roots on Læsø. The business is run by Thomas Christiansen, who represents the fourth generation of a long-standing fishing family. The catch consists primarily of Norway lobster and edible fish, and all of the family’s vessels have throughout the years carried the name Klitbo—always combined with the first names of the owners’ children, which today pays tribute to Thomas’s daughter, Andrea.

Historically, the fishing has taken place around Læsø and in Kattegat, but today the company mainly operates in Skagerrak, where better fishing opportunities provide both higher volumes and greater variety. Their commitment to fishing goes hand in hand with strong involvement in the local business community. All four generations have been active in both the practical side of fishing and the political development of the industry. Today, Thomas serves as chairman of the Læsø Fishermen’s Association and works purposefully to promote innovation, sustainability, and new development opportunities for the fishing sector on Læsø.

Reef Circular

Reef Circular is a Danish company based in Copenhagen that works to restore and strengthen marine environments using artificial reefs designed to increase marine biodiversity in areas where nature has been damaged by human activity.

The company develops and produces these reefs using sustainable and circular materials, including natural clay and bio-concrete made from shells from the fishing industry, and monitors the impact with data to ensure targeted biodiversity growth. Reef Circular collaborates with researchers, local communities, and environmental organizations to protect marine environments and support long-term ocean restoration.
