  • Tilrettelegging for Turisme Som Ivaretar Naturverdiene På Slettnes, Gamvik Kommune
    RAPPORT nr. 2 – 2007 Revidert prosjektplan: Tilrettelegging for turisme som ivaretar naturverdiene på Slettnes, Gamvik kommune Fylkesmannen i Finnmark, miljøvernavdelingen 2007 RAPPORT fra Fylkesmannen i Finnmark, Miljøvernavdelinga, er en publikasjonsserie som presenterer resultater fra undersøkelser og utredninger som foretas i Miljøvernavdelingas regi. Formålet er blant annet å spre informasjon om miljøvernspørsmål til en videre krets av interesserte. En liste over tidligere rapporter i samme serie er gjengitt bak i rapporten. Flere av rapportene er tilgjengelige på Fylkesmannens hjemmeside, se under ”Miljøvern” på www.fylkesmannen.no/finnmark. Vi gjør oppmerksom på at forfatterne av rapportene selv er ansvarlige for sine vurderinger og konklusjoner. ISSN 0800-2118 RAPPORT nr. 2-2007 gis hovedsakelig ut på nett, og mangfoldiggjøres etter behov Trykk/layout: Fylkesmannen i Finnmark Henvendelser kan rettes til: Fylkesmannen i Finnmark Miljøvernavdelinga Statens hus 9815 VADSØ Forfatterne: Trond Aarseth, seksjonsleder og Ørjan W.

Den første versjonen ble skrevet vinteren 2004. Tiltakene ble godkjent i forhold til vernebestemmelsene for naturreservatet gjennom behandling hos Fylkesmannen i Troms (Fylkesmannen i Finnmark erklærte seg inhabil pga. sitt engasjement i utformingen av planen). Deler av planen er gjennomført, men de største og viktigste delene gjenstår. Den forsinkete gjennomføringen skyldes blant annet signaler fra lokalt hold om motvilje mot deler av planen. Fylkesmannen og Gamvik kommune arrangerte derfor, i samarbeid med Gamvik museum, et folkemøte i Gamvik den 7. november 2006, hvor planen ble gjennomgått med formål å oppnå enighet om hva som skulle og ikke skulle gjennomføres.

  • NVE Gir Hammerfest Energi Nett Tillatelse Til Nye Breivikbotn
    HAMMERFEST ENERGI NETT AS Postboks 3 9615 HAMMERFEST Vår dato: 01.02.2019 Vår ref.: 201836803-11 Arkiv: 611 Saksbehandler: Deres dato: 06.07.2018 Øistein Løvstad Deres ref.: 22959367/[email protected] NVE gir Hammerfest Energi Nett tillatelse til nye Breivikbotn transformatorstasjon Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE) har i dag gitt Hammerfest Energi Nett AS konsesjon for å bygge og drive nye Breivikbotn transformatorstasjon i Hasvik kommune i Finnmark fylke. NVE gir samtidig Hammerfest Energi Nett tillatelse til å rive eksisterende transformatorstasjon når ny er satt i drift. Vedlagt oversendes NVEs tillatelse (anleggskonsesjon) av i dag. Dokumentene er også å finne på www.nve.no/kraftledninger. Bakgrunn for søknaden Hammerfest Energi Nett søkte 6. juli 2018 om å bygge en ny 66/22 kV transformatorstasjon i Breivikbotn, som skal erstatte dagens stasjon. Ifølge Hammerfest Energi Nett er eksisterende stasjon gammel og ikke i henhold til dagens krav og standarder. En ny stasjon vil legge til rette for økt effektuttak og bedre forsyningssikkerheten i Hasvik kommune. Transformatorstasjonen er planlagt øst for dagens stasjon, og omsøkt som et innendørs anlegg i betong med en grunnflate på ca. 27x15 meter og en mønehøyde på ca. 7 meter over bakkenivå. Hammerfest Energi Nett har søkt om å rive eksisterende transformatorstasjon når ny stasjon er satt i drift. Sørøya er ensidig forsynt med en 66 kV ledning på 100 kilometer. Ved utfall av ledningen er det lite reserve i underliggende nett. Hammerfest Energi ønsker derfor i tillegg å etablere et dieselaggregat i tilknytning til transformatorstasjonen, for å øke forsyningssikkerheten på Sørøya.

Prior to this development, small offshore islands were of central importance for marine related activity due to their proximity to fishing grounds. This article presents four settlements on small and “marginal” islands in Arctic Norway from 68◦19’ to 71◦05’Nlatitude as cases that illustrate the centrality of such locations in a maritime context since the Viking Age (AD 800–1050).

  • Geology of the Inner Shelf West of North Cape, Norway
    Geology of the inner shelf west of North Cape, Norway TORE O. VORREN, YNGVE KRISTOFFERSEN & KARIN ANDREASSEN Vorren, T. 0., Kristoffersen, Y. & Andreassen, K.: Geology of the inner shelf west of North Cape, Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 66, pp. 99-105. Oslo 1986. ISSN 0029-196X. An escarpment parallel to the coast off West Finnmark marks the boundary between the Scandina­ vian landmass of crystalline rocks and the overlying sedimentary succession offshore. Seaward-dip­ ping sedimentary rocks subcrop at an erosional unconformity which in turn is overlain by horizontally stratified sediment layers. The seaward dip of the sedimentary rocks is probably due to Cenozoic up­ lift of the landmass. The uplift was predominantly flexural but there is indication of concomitant ex­ tensional faulting. The erosional unconformity is probably a polycyclic and polygenetic erosional sur­ face initiated at the mid-Oligocene lowstand of the sea leve!. Three deltas up to 30 km wide, of sup­ posed glaciomarine origin, are located at the escarpment. The deltas must have been deposited by continental ice-sheet before the last Late Weichselian readvance onto the shelf. T. O. Vorren & K.

  • Russian Fishing Activities Off the Coast of Finnmark*A Legal History1 Kirsti Strøm Bull*, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
    Arctic Review on Law and Politics Vol. 6, No. 1, 2015, pp. 3Á10 Russian Fishing Activities off the Coast of Finnmark*A Legal History1 Kirsti Strøm Bull*, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway Abstract The rich fishery resources off the coast of Finnmark have historically attracted fishermen from other parts of Norway and from neighbouring countries. This article discusses the legal history of Russian fishing activities off the coast of Finnmark and covers the historical period from the 1700s until the termination of this fishery in the early 1900s. The article shows that Russian fishermen, like the Sa´mi from Finland*and unlike fishermen from other nations, were authorized to establish shacks and landing places. Both the agreements and legal disputes surrounding the fishery, which lasted until World War I, are discussed in the article. Keywords: fishery; Russia; legal history; rights to marine resources; Finnmark; The Lapp Codicil Received: August 2014; Accepted: September 2014; Published: March 2015 1. Introduction protecting fishery resources for the benefit of Finnmark’s own population* From far back in time, the rich fisheries off the coast of Finnmark have attracted fishermen from beyond the county’s own borders. Some of these fishermen, known in Norwegian as nordfarere (‘‘northern seafarers’’), came from further south along the Norwegian coast, specifically from the counties of Nordland and Trøndelag. Others came from further east, from Finland and Russia. In more recent times, fishermen started to arrive from even further afield, notably from England. When the English trawlers ventured into Varangerfjord in 1911, they triggered a dispute between Norway and England concerning the delimitation of the Norwegian fisheries zone that continued until 1951, when the matter was decided by the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

  • 2.3 the Municipality of North Cape, a 'Fringe' Community Under Development. Stig Hansen
    Community development 84 2.3 The municipality of North Cape, a ‘fringe’ community under development. Stig Hansen This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7557/5.3203 Introduction I would like to begin by explaining how I am able to speak to you about North Cape and its potential for business development, by giving you a little background information about myself and my involvement in the area. I was born and brought up in Honningsvåg, and have experienced changes which have, amongst other things, led to a reduction in the population of the area from over 5000 people to 3200 today. My work experience includes teaching, in primary and secondary schools, project leadership within the fishing industry, insurance advisor, business manager for North Cape Municipality, and Daily leader for North Cape Business Park. This last position I have held since 2007. We have 43 member businesses, locally and regionally. Our network includes both commercial industries and official institutions/organisations. Besides this, I lead the civic network of business managers in West Finnmark, and am leading the Business Park Network in Finnmark. I also work closely with the University in Tromsø, the High School in Finnmark, University in Trondheim (NTNU) and one of the most renowned research institutes in Norway, Sintef. As an active sportsman and a representative at the highest level of our local, 600 strong sports club, I feel I also have very good knowledge in this field. In this chapter I will comment on the current status and challenges within our main businesses of fishing, tourism, oil, and culture.

  • AIP 020: Summer in Finnmark
    Activities in Alta SUMMER TOURS AIP 020: Summer in Finnmark Location: Alta, Norway, plus day tours around in Finnmark County Airport: Arrive and depart Alta (ALF) Duration: 5 nights, 6 days Minimum/Maximum 2 – 4 people Clothing and gear: Be prepared for anything in the arctic summertime – rain coat and trousers, sweaters for cool weather, plus t-shirts and shorts in case of warm weather. Sturdy shoes that can get wet and dirty, for hiking. Your Tour Many people think of the arctic as a winter play paradise – snowmobiles and dogsleds, skis and fatbikes to take you along trails under the northern lights. We do have that in the winter, but the land of the midnight sun is a fantastic destination in summertime as well. Even though the snowmobiles are safely in their summer storage, there is plenty of fun activities, and lots to see as well. On this tour, you’ll get a balanced sampling of activity and sightseeing as you see the countryside around Alta and then take some time to explore other destinations like North Cape, a half-day’s journey to the northern edge of the country. Your Itinerary Day 1: Welcome to Alta! You’ll be met in the afternoon by a North Adventure representative at the airport to ensure that everything is in order with your arrival. Once you collect your luggage, you will head out by taxi to Trasti & Trine, a husky dog kennel and guest house approximately 20 minutes outside of Alta. You’ll check in and get acquainted with your delightful surroundings out in the forest.

Denne planen viser hvordan Gamvik-Nordkyn Havn KF i samarbeid med innbyggerne i kommunen ser for seg utvikling av havneområdene frem mot 2023. Om det blir som ønsket og planlagt avhenger av hvordan politikerne prioriterer, hvilke ressurser som er til rådighet og om de utviklingstrekkene vi ser for oss i dag vil slå til. Det gjør at planen må være et levende dokument som årlig rulleres for at det skal kunne være det styringsverktøyet kommunen har behov for.
