  • Stofnvöktun Lunda 2017-2019
    STOFNVÖKTUN LUNDA 2017-2019 Lokaskýrsla til Umhverfisstofnunar Árlegur stofnvöxtur lunda (λ) á Íslandi 2010-2019. Stofninn vex þegar λ > 1 og rénar þegar λ < 1, λ = 1 er sýnt með svartri láréttri línu. Veiðar eru stofnvistfræðilega ósjálfbærar þegar þegar λ < 1. Geometrískt meðaltal λ árin 2010-2019 er 0,96478, eða -2,73% fækkun á ári. Reiknuð fækkun með þessu meðaltali árabilið 2003-2019 er - 43,7%. Litir sýna þá IUCN flokka sem viðkomandi stofnvöxtur raðast á hverju ári: rauður; Í bráðri hættu – Critically Endangered; appelsínugulur; Í hættu – Endangered; gulur; Í nokkurri hættu – Vulnerable; grænn; Ekki í hættu – Least Concern. Erpur Snær Hansen 15. desember 2019 Náttúrustofa Suðurlands Stofnvöktun lunda á Íslandi 2017-2019 SAMANTEKT Lundi er algengastur og einna mest veiddur íslenskra fugla. Næstum allur lundi er nú veiddur í háf á varptíma og varð háfaveiði ríkjandi veiðiaðferð í Vestmannaeyjum um 1880 [1]. Þar hefur veiðimagn verið tengt sjávarhita frá 1880 [2]. Skiptast á hlý- og köld tímabil sem vara í um 35 ár (svonefnd AMO sveifla), og hefur veiði hnignað á hlýskeiðunum en aukist á kaldskeiðum. Núverandi hlýskeið hófst 1996 og hefur lundaveiði á landsvísu dregist saman um 90% 1995-2018, en samdrátturinn 1995-2007 nemur 73 prósentustigum, þ.e. áður en dregið var úr sókn. Líklegt er að lækkuð viðkoma á landsvísu skýri að mestu þennan samdrátt í veiðum, sem aftur endurspeglar neikvæð áhrif hitabreytinga og hugsanlega fleiri umhverfisþátta á aðalfæðutegundir lunda hérlendis, sandsíli og loðnu. Árlegur stofnvöxtur (λ) Íslenska lundastofnsins á landsvísu árabilið 2010-2019 var að meðaltali 0,96478 sem er undir stofnvistfræðilegum sjálfbærnimörkum (λ = 1).

  • Circumpolar Murre Conservation Strategy
    Circumpolar Murre Conservation Strategy IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2004–2008 – ICELAND Aevar Petersen NÍ-03006 Reykjavík, January 2003 NÁTTÚRUFRÆÐISTOFNUN ÍSLANDS ISSN 1670-0120 2 ICELANDIC I NSTITUTE OF N ATURAL H ISTORY 2003 CMCS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2004–2008–ICELAND SUMMARY The International Murre Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (CMCS) was finalised in 1996 by the Circumpolar Seabird Group (CBird) on behalf of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna Working Group (CAFF 1996). Prior to that and since, the CAFF countries have been implementing various aspects of the strategy most relevant to them. Iceland has worked on several aspects of the strategy, although a consorted plan has not been developed until now. The strategy covers the two murre species, Common Murre Uria aalge and Thick- billed Murre U. lomvia . An overview of the present status of various strategy actions is given. Also presented are various suggestions for actions to implement the different strategy items in future years. Guidelines are provided in the CMCS on how to implement the strategy. These fall under three headings, i.e. Priorities, Collaboration and Cooperation, and Reporting. The most important initial recommendations for future work are collected under each heading, including some general recommendations, which are important for full implementation of the strategy. Many aspects of murre management and conservation need further work in Iceland, both research and compilations of status. These include, among others, harvesting and tourism practices at colonies, distribution of murres at sea, effects of incidental takes in fishing gear, monitoring of a representative set of breeding colonies, effect of winter hunting on Thick- billed Murres, murre banding, and production of educational materials.

  • (Sula Bassana) in Iceland Are Based on Two Personal Visits in 1932 and 1933, and on One by My Brother, Sub.-Lieut
    (100) THE GANNET COLONIES OF ICELAND. BY BRIAN ROBERTS, M.B.O.U. THE following notes on colonies of the Gannet (Sula bassana) in Iceland are based on two personal visits in 1932 and 1933, and on one by my brother, Sub.-Lieut. P. L. Roberts, R.N., in 1934. There are at present six islands off the Icelandic coast where Gannets breed, and four of these—Brandur, Hellisey, Sulnasker and Geldungur, are close together in the Vestmannaeyjar, a small group of volcanic islands off the south-west coast. There is also a colony on Eldey off Reykjanes, and another on Grfmsey off the north coast. In his monograph on the Gannet (1), J. H. Gurney mentions all of these except Hellisey, which is the largest colony in the Vestmannaeyjar group, but the information he was able to obtain was scanty, and his estimate of the numbers was, in his own words, " open to amendment ". On August 18th, 1932, I visited the Vestmannaeyjar colonies in company with J. A. Beckett. A full account of this expedition, together with a map and photograph, has already been published (2), so a short summary only will be given here. It was too rough to land on any of the islands, but we were able to form a fairly accurate estimate of the number of breeding-birds by sailing slowly round each rock close under the cliffs. The method of assessing the numbers was to count all the adult birds on the rocks themselves. The census was greatly facilitated by the geological structure of the rock, which caused the birds to sit in definite rows on the ledges, and it would otherwise have been almost impossible to count them.

  • Stofnvöktun Lunda 2018
    STOFNVÖKTUN LUNDA 2018 Framvinduskýrsla til Umhverfisstofnunar Erpur Snær Hansen Desember 2018 Stofnvöktun lunda – Framvinduskýrsla 2018 ÁGRIP Lundi er algengastur og mest veiddur íslenskra fugla. Næstum allur lundi er nú veiddur í háf á varptíma og varð háfaveiði ríkjandi veiðiaðferð í Vestmannaeyjum um 1880 [1]. Þar hefur veiðimagn verið tengt sjávarhita frá 1880 [2]. Skiptast á hlý- og köld tímabil sem vara í um 35 ár, og hefur veiði hnignað á hlýskeiðunum en aukist á kaldskeiðum [2]. Núverandi hlýskeið hófst 1996 og hefur veiði á landsvísu dregist saman um 91% síðan 1995, en samdrátturinn 1995-2007 nemur 66 prósentustigum, þ.e. áður en dregið var úr sókn. Viðkoma, varpárangur og ábúð varphola hefur verið mjög breytileg milli fjögurra skilgreindra landsvæða, hæst á norðursvæði og fremur stöðug milli ára. Á Vestursvæði hafa orðið mestar breytingar, en þar hefur viðkoma, varpárangur og ábúð aukist mikið þar til síðustu tvö ár að bakslag hefur komið. Sandsíli hefur talsvert sést í fæðuburði síðust tvö ár, mest í Faxaflóa. Svo virðist sem sílið nái ekki að fjölga nægjanlega mikið til að ná fyrri stöðu sinni. Í Papey hefur viðkoma, varpárangur og ábúð verið á hægri niðurleið eftir núll-árin 2010 og 2011. Meðal viðkoma og varpárangur hafa verið lægst í Vestmannaeyjum, en meðal ábúð hin sama og á vestursvæði eða 25-30% lægri en á norður- og austursvæðunum. Viðkoma í Eyjum hefur verið svo lítil allt frá árinu 2003 að íslenski lundastofninn hefur verið í rénun síðan þá. Hlutfall ungfugla í veiði 1996-2018 hefur verið tölfræðilega marktækt undir viðmiðunarmörkum, en aukist verulega síðustu tvö ár.
