  • Posten I Øst-Finnmark Rundt 1855
    POSTEN I ØST- FINNMARK RUNDT 1855. I 2007 har Vardø 700-års markering av festning og Kirke. Dette er et jubileum som Vardø Frimerkeklubb vil markere på sitt vis; med en regional frimerkeutstilling. Festningen hadde nemlig også en meget viktig rolle mht. posten, siden den var endepunktet for posten gjennom Nord-Norge. POSTRUTER I 1663 ble det gitt et kongelig påbud om at posten skulle føres fram til Finnmark 2 ganger pr. år. Før Norges første frimerke ble utgitt var det Vardø som var endestasjonen for posten gjennom Finnmark. Det var Vardøhus Festning strategiske beliggenhet som også ble utgangspunktet for postruten. Norges utpost mot øst måtte ha god kontakt med konge og regjering. Posten fram til Vardø gikk to veier avhengig av årstiden; postruta var delt i hhv. vinterrute og sommerrute. Fram til 1838 gikk posten fra Trondheim og nordover med båtpost. I 1838 skjedde en revolusjon innen postgangen til Nord-Norge. Dampskipet ”Prinds Gustav” ble satt inn i trafikk mellom Trondheim og Tromsø, senere Hammerfest. Denne dampskipsruten var ikke helårlig, i 1855 gikk dampskipet i perioden februar – oktober. Sommerposten hadde sitt utgangspunkt i Hammerfest, hvor den fortsatte dels som båtpost og dels over land. Posten fulgte denne ruta: over Porsangerhalvøya, krysser Porsangerfjorden, videre over Sværholthalvøya og over Laksefjorden. Posten krysset Nordkinnhalvøya på Hopseidet før den fortsatte inn Tanafjorden til Guldholmen (Tanen) opp elva til Seida før den krysset over til Næsseby, og fortsatte til Vadsø og tilslutt til Vardø. Til venstre et postkart som viser vinterposten i Finnmark i 1838. Vinterposten i Finnmark til Vardø hadde sitt utgangspunkt i Alten hvor posten sørfra kom med dampskip eller båtpost.

  • Strong Degradation of Palsas and Peat Plateaus in Northern Norway During the Last 60 Years
    Strong degradation of palsas and peat plateaus in northern Norway during the last 60 years A. F. Borge, S. Westermann, I. Solheim, B. Etzelmüller Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1047, 0316 Oslo, Norway 5 Correspondence to: S. Westermann ([email protected]) Abstract. Palsas and peat plateaus are permafrost landforms occurring in subarctic mires which constitute sensitive ecosystems with strong significance for vegetation, wildlife, hydrology and carbon cycle. We have systematically mapped the occurrence of palsas and peat plateaus in the northernmost county of Norway (Finnmark, ~50,000 km2) by manual interpretation of aerial images from 2005-2014 at a spatial resolution of 250 m2. At this resolution, mires and wetlands with 10 palsas or peat plateaus occur in about 850 km2 of Finnmark, with the actual palsas and peat plateaus underlain by permafrost covering a surface area of approximately 110 km2. Secondly, we have quantified the lateral changes of the extent of palsas and peat plateaus for four study areas located along a NW-SE transect through Finnmark by utilizing repeat aerial imagery from the 1950s to the 2010s. The results of the lateral changes reveal a total decrease of 33-71 % in the areal extent of palsas and peat plateaus during the study period, with the largest lateral change rates observed in the last decade. However, the 15 results indicate that degradation of palsas and peat plateaus in northern Norway has been a consistent process during the second half of the 20th century and possibly even earlier. Significant rates of areal change are observed in all investigated time periods since the 1950s, and thermokarst landforms observed on aerial images from the 1950s suggest that lateral degradation was already an ongoing process at this time.

  • SAK 26/15 Anmodning Om Utvidelse Av Lisensfellingskvote for Bjørn I Definerte Skadeområder Innen Rovviltregion 8, Troms Og Finnmark
    SAK 26/15 Anmodning om utvidelse av lisensfellingskvote for bjørn i definerte skadeområder innen Rovviltregion 8, Troms og Finnmark Vedtak 2.9.2015: Enstemmig vedtatt. Innstilling til vedtak: Rovviltnemnda sender en anmodning om å utvide lisensfellingskvoten innenfor definerte skadeområder til Miljødirektoratet. Det anmodes om at kvoten settes til en bjørn utenfor forvatningsområde for bjørn i Bardu kommune i Troms. I Finnmark anbefales en kvote på en bjørn i beiteområdene til Neiden Beitelag, og to bjørner i deler av Tana, Nesseby og Vadsø kommune på Varangerhalvøya. Anbefalningen baserer seg på antall bjørner som gjør skade i sauebeiteområdene i forvaltningsområde B, og som hittil ikke har blitt felt i lisensjakt eller i skadefellingsforsøk. Til Miljødirektoratet 2.9.2015 Anmodning om utvidelse av lisensfellingskvote i definerte skadeområder innen Rovviltregion 8, Troms og Finnmark Rovviltnemnda viser til kvote for lisensfelling av bjørn gitt 20.8.2015 av Miljødirektoratet. Vi viser til at binnekvoten er fylt i årets jakt og som resultat er lisensfellingen stoppet i både Troms og Finnmark. På bakgrunn av to felte bjørn i Finnmark, en hannbjørn i Polmak og en binne i Pasvik uten at fellingene sannsynligvis har berørt områder i regionen med store tap av sau til bjørn i sommer, anmoder rovviltnemnda miljødirektoratet om å utvide årets lisensfellingskvote, dette styrt til områdene som har hatt eller fortsatt per 31.08 har pågående tap til bjørn. Anmodning om utvidet lisensfellingskvote til miljødirektoratet fra rovviltnemnda i Region 8 Vi anbefaler en kvote på en bjørn i Neiden Beitelagets beiteområde i Sør-Varanger kommune. Dette gjelder nord for E6 og vest for Neidenelva, og øst for Bugøyfjord.

  • Fylkesmannens Vedtak - Forlenget Åpning Av Snøskuterløyper Etter 4
    Vår dato: Vår ref: 30.04.2020 2020/4508 Deres dato: Deres ref: Kommunene i Finnmark Saksbehandler, innvalgstelefon Anders Tandberg, 78 95 03 34 Fylkesmannens vedtak - forlenget åpning av snøskuterløyper etter 4. mai 2020 Fylkesmannen i Troms og Finnmark viser til søknader fra kommunene Sør-Varanger, Nesseby, Vadsø, Vardø, Båtsfjord, Berlevåg, Tana, Lebesby, Gamvik, Karasjok, Kautokeino, Porsanger, Måsøy, Hammerfest, Alta og Loppa om forlenget åpning av snøskuterløyper etter 4. mai jf. forskrift for bruk av motorkjøretøyer i utmark og på islagte vassdrag § 9 andre ledd (heretter nasjonal forskrift § 9). For kommuner med omsøkte løyper nord for Varangerfjorden, i kommunene Nesseby, Vadsø, Vardø og Båtsfjord, kommer Fylkesmannen med et eget vedtak den 4. mai. Dette da det på nåværende tidspunkt ikke er avklart om reindriften i år må gjennomføre reinflytting langs kysten grunnet store snømengder på fjellet. Fylkesmannens vurdering Generelle vurderinger Et viktig formål med lov om motorisert ferdsel i utmark (motorferdselloven) er å regulere motorferdsel i utmark og vassdrag med sikte på å verne om naturmiljøet. Motorferdselforbudet fra og med 5. mai til og med 30. juni er gitt i §§ 4 og 9 i nasjonal forskrift til motorferdselloven. Bakgrunnen for motorferdselforbudet er at rein, fugl og annet dyreliv er svært sårbare på denne årstiden, samt at det lett oppstår skader på vegetasjon og terreng i vårløsningen. Kommunene har i 2020 søkt via et digitalt søknadsskjema. Her har kommunene gjort vurderinger av sikkerhet, snøforhold, naturmangfold, innhentet godkjenning fra berørte reindriftsinteresser og prioritert omsøkte løyper ut ifra behov/bruk. Kommunene har selv gjort vurderinger etter naturmangfoldloven §§ 8-12. Kunnskap om naturens sårbarhet om våren og negative effekter av motorferdsel i utmark er vel dokumentert i en rekke vitenskapelige studier.

  • The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP)
    The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) Your ref Our ref Date 18/2098-13 27 February 2019 The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) – Norway's contribution to the report focusing on recognition, reparation and reconciliation With reference to the letter of 20th November 2018 from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights where we were invited to contribute to the report of the Expert Mechanism on recognition, reparation and reconciliation initiatives in the last 10 years. Development of the Norwegian Sami policy For centuries, the goal of Norwegian Sami policy was to assimilate the Sami into the Norwegian population. For instance Sami language was banned in schools. In 1997 the King, on behalf of the Norwegian Government, gave an official apology to the Sami people for the unjust treatment and assimilation policies. The Sami policy in Norway today is based on the recognition that the state of Norway was established on the territory of two peoples – the Norwegians and the Sami – and that both these peoples have the same right to develop their culture and language. Legislation and programmes have been established to strengthen Sami languages, culture, industries and society. As examples we will highlight the establishment of the Sámediggi (the Sami parliament in Norway) in 1989, the Procedures for Consultations between the State Authorities and Sámediggi of 11 May 2005 and the Sami Act. More information about these policies can be found in Norway's reports on the implementation of the ILO Convention No. 169 and relevant UN Conventions.
