    Kujalleq Nutaaq ERHVERVSUDVIKLINGS FORSLAG for Kommune Kujalleq Version 1.0 - 2020 Innovation South Greenland A/S, Torvevej 34, Postboks 313, 3920 Qaqortoq, Greenland Oqarasuaat +299 537777, e-mail: [email protected] Forord Innovation South Greenland arbejder målrettet for at få udviklingen i gang i hele Sydgrønland. Dette dokument afspejler anbefalingerne til Kommunalbestyrelsen. 1. Ser man på infrastrukturen er det gennem en årrække blevet svært at rejse rundt i Kommunen. 2. Det er en udfordring at få vareforsyninger, dyrt og svært at sende varer fra sydgrønland og svært at holde møder osv. Af disse og flere andre årsager er udviklingen gået nærmest i stå. 3. Resultatet har været at der er sket en gradvis en fraflytning. Desuden har personer med højere kompetencer fået gode jobs andre steder. Det er ganske enkelt blevet svært at skabe et livsgrundlag på et personligt plan, for familier og for erhvervslivet. Derfor har man etableret Innovation South Greenland A/S for at skabe vækst, udvikling og rådgivning af iværksættere. En konkret opgave som er blevet givet Innovation South Greenland A/S er at finde en løsning for Narsarsuaq i et nyt scenarie. Det vigtige er imidlertid at se på hele Sydgrønland som en sammenhængende region. Den første forudsætning er at skabe håb og troværdighed. Dernæst at man får en tidssvarende infrastruktur på plads. Ydermere skal der opdyrkes en iværksætterkultur som understøttes af igangsætning af konkrete projekter. Sidst og ikke mindst skal der tiltrækkes investeringer udefra og indgås bilaterale aftaler som kan styrke regionen. Erhvervsudviklingen skal baseres på et tæt samarbejde med Erhvervslivet, Kommunen, Selvstyret og Uddannelsesinstitutionerne i kommunen.

Across the fjord we have the settlement of Qassiarsuk where the ruins of the Viking settlement Brattahlid can be seen. Brattahlid was settled by Erik the Red more than thousand years ago. Magnetic Results 2002, Preface i PREFACE As shown in the tables and on the map below the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) operates four permanent geomagnetic observatories in Denmark and Greenland, namely Brorfelde, Qeqertarsuaq (formerly Godhavn), Qaanaaq (formerly Thule) and Narsarsuaq, and further also two magnetometer chains in Greenland. The chain on the west coast consists of the three permanent observatories and a number of variation stations, while the east coast chain consists of five variation stations. Together with Space Physics Research Laboratory (SPRL) of University of Michigan, USA, DMI also operates a Magnetometer Array on the Greenland Ice Cap (MAGIC). The variation stations are without absolute control. This yearbook presents the result of the geomagnetic measurements carried out at the four permanent observatories during 2002. The yearbook has been compiled by Børge Pedersen. The yearbook is divided in seven sections.

  • Ilulissat Icefjord
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1149.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Ilulissat Icefjord DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: DENMARK CRITERIA: N (i) (iii) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (19m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 35 cu. km of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes. Criterion (iii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250-km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240-ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea.

  • Report on the Availability of Whale Meat in Greenland
    1 Greenland survey: 77% of restaurants served whale meat in 2011/2012 Greenland claims that its current Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling (ASW) quota of 175 minke whales, 16 fin whales, nine humpback whales and two bowhead whales a year is insufficient to meet the nutritional needs of Greenlanders (people born in Greenland). It claims in its 2012 Needs Statement that West Greenland alone now requires 730 tonnes of whale meat annually. Greenland has around 50 registered restaurants used by tourists, including several in hotels, plus another 25 smaller "cafeterias, hot dog stands, grill bars, ice cream shops, etc.” which are licensed separately.1 WDCS, the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, visited Greenland in May 2011 to assess the availability of whale meat in registered restaurants. In September 2011, WDCS and the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) visited again. In June 2012, AWI conducted (i) a telephone and email survey of all restaurants (31) for which contact information (phone/email) was available and (ii) extensive internet research in multiple languages of web entries referencing whale meat in Greenland’s restaurants in 2011/2012. Whale meat, including fin, bowhead and minke whale, was available to tourists at 24 out of 31 (77.4%) restaurants visited, contacted, and/or researched online in Greenland in 2011/2012. In addition, one other restaurant for which there was no online record of it serving whale meat indicated, when contacted, that though it did not currently have whale meat on the menu it could be provided if requested in advance for a large enough group. Others that did not have whale meat said that they could provide an introduction to a local family that would.

  • A Pilot Project to Undertake Genetic Stock of Origin
    International Atlantic Salmon Research Board SAG(14)5 Identification of Genetic Stock of Origin of European Atlantic Salmon Captured at West Greenland for the Years 2002-2012 Not to be cited without prior reference to the authors 6 May 2014 SAG(14)5 Identification of Genetic Stock of Origin of European Atlantic salmon Captured at West Greenland for the Years 2002-2012. This draft final report was prepared in fulfilment of a contract to undertake genetic stock identification of Atlantic salmon captured at West Greenland for the period 2002-2012. The project sponsors were the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute for Northern Ireland (AFBINI), the International Atlantic Salmon Research Board (IASRB) of the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (NASCO) and the Atlantic Salmon Trust (AST). Contributors to the report were Philip McGinnity (UCC), Paulo Prödohl (QUB), Caroline Bradley (QUB), Tim Sheehan (NOAA), Barb Lubinski (USGS), Tim King (USGS) and Tom Cross (UCC). Background Previous physical tagging (Reddin et al. 2012) and genetic stock identification studies (Gauthier-Ouellet et al 2009; Sheehan et al. 2010) of Atlantic salmon at continental scale suggest that fish from North America and Europe, and European fish from the Northern and Southern Multi-Sea-Winter (MSW) population complexes, contribute to the Atlantic salmon catch off West Greenland. However, little is known of the proportions of fish originating from different European regions and individual rivers within these regions. European Atlantic salmon caught at West Greenland appear to be predominantly, non- maturing one-sea-winter fish. These are fish that mature after two or more winters at sea, and are commonly known as 1SW non-maturing or multi-sea-winter (MSW) maturing fish.
