Iceland – U.S. Whaling Talks in Washington: The U.S. Criticized for Inconsistency
Representatives of the Icelandic Government had meetings on whaling in Washington D.C. last Friday with the U.S. State Department and the offices of the Alaskan Senators Lisa Murkowski and Mark Begich. The objective of the meetings was to react to the certification of Iceland by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce under the so-called Pelly Amendment and to inform the U.S. Government and Congress about the Icelandic whaling policy. This week the U.S. President will take position regarding the certification letter of the Secretary of Commerce who recommended that diplomatic actions be taken against Iceland due to its whaling activities.
An extraordinary Mackerel trawl!
In June, the M/V Jupiter FD42 got a new 2048 metre trawl intended for pair trawling in the surface for Mackerel. Already after the first tow, Cpt. Emil Petersen realized that this trawl was extremely light to tow compared to other trawls of the same size and, at the same time had a very large opening. The crew on the "Jupiter" also soon discovered that the catches of mackerel were quite high compared to the towing time.
Danish Catch Quota Management Project 2010
Catch-quota management (CQM) is a result based management where targets (catch quotas, where all fish count on the fishers quota) are set, and the choice of method in harvesting is left to the exploiter together with the obligation to document (by E-log and CCTV) that targets are observed. At present management needs time to prepare and legislate and it regulates with rigid and uniform rules. This is problematic in an environment where the ideal harvesting pattern is highly complex and variable, and it often leads to conflict between regulation and fishermen’s perception of the best practice. In contrast a result based management incentivizes the exploiter to continuously adapt and improve his fishery against the targets, which in fisheries policy coincides with the main objective, namely the observance of removals of fish according to the MSY principle.
