It even grew to face the North Sea around the seventeenth century. With the loss of land to the sea, the economy began to focus more and more on fishing. When the afsluitdijk was built, connecting the island to the mainland, and the Zuiderzee disappeared into the freshwater IJsselmeer, the residents did not let themselves be thrown off guard. Freshwater fishing emerged on the IJsselmeer, and with modifications to the fleet, the North Sea continued to be fished as well. That spirit of innovation and resilience is constantly reflected in the history of the village. Thus, the current growth of the Seafood industry is focused on switching from local fishing to fish imported from Scandinavia, Scotland and the rest of the world! Urkers do not see obstacles but opportunities! The municipality sees these developments and facilitates space for entrepreneurs, services and sustainability.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column

Any economic or political blows are not only absorbed by Urk&#8217;s stable position as an international seafood hub, but they give reason for innovation, growth and strengthening of the industry. The local cluster Urk Seafood can therefore guarantee stable cooperation with parties from home and abroad!!!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group
