ISThe Icelandic Minister of Fisheries, Eyjólfur Ármannsson, signed a regulation increasing the coastal fishing quota from 10,650 tons to 13,350 tons. This allows fishermen to catch an additional 2,700 tons compared to previous limits. Coastal fishing season began at the start of May, and it has generally started well with higher catches than last year. The chairman of the Association of Small Boat Owners expressed concerns that without legal changes, fishing would not be possible for 48 days.
