Understand

Avery, a beautiful island connected to the mainland in 1989, has a rich maritime history. In the past, land was seen as a barrier rather than a means of transportation, making boats the preferred mode of travel. As a result, the island's settlements and surrounding areas were greatly influenced by this reliance on boats. Fishing and farming have always been the main industries on Avery, with shipping and fish farming also playing a significant role. Additionally, the nearby city of Kristiansund, with its booming oil-related businesses, has become a major source of employment and economic activity.
