Increases coastal fishing quotas and makes the world's biggest ever

The Icelandic Ministry of Fisheries has signed off on a regulation increasing the allowable catch for coastal fishing this season by approximately 2,700 tons, raising the total quota from 10,650 to 13,350 tons. This decision was made by Minister Eyólfs Ármannsson and is based on an amendment added to the fisheries management law at the end of April. The amendment allows for an additional allocation of fish quotas to coastal fishermen beyond the initial distribution.

Innviðaráðherra skrifaði undir reglugerð sem eykur aflaheimildir til strandveiða á þessu tímabili um 2.700 tonn. Strandveiðivertíðin er sögð verða sú allra stærsta frá upphafi með aukningunni.

Aflamarkið fer úr 10.650 í 13.350 tonn með ákvörðun Eyólfs Ármannssonar, innviðaráðherra. Í tilkynningu frá ráðuneyti hans er haft eftir honum að þar með verði strandveiðivertíðin í ár sú allra stærsta frá upphafi.

Breytingin byggist á svonefndri jöfnunarheimild sem sett var inn í lög um stjórn fiskveiða í lok apríl. Hún leyfir ráðstöfun aukins aflamarks til strandveiða til viðbótar við fyrri úthlutun á fiskveiðiári.
