Tillatelsen ble avgrenset til tidsrommet 23. mai – 10. juni 2016. Søker kontaktet Fylkesmannen på telefon den 8. juni, hvor han informerte om at de ikke fikk gjennomført flyvningene før 10. juni på grunn av at det ikke har vært mulig å få tak i helikopter. De tar imidlertid sikte på å få gjennomført det i løpet av uke 24. Fylkesmannen viser til vurderingene som fremgår av vedlagte vedtak av 25. mai 2016. Formålet og forutsetningene for tillatelsen er fortsatt de samme. I og med at tillatelsen ikke er benyttet vurderer Fylkesmannen at endring av dato kun utgjør en mindre endring av gjeldende tillatelse. Fylkesmannen vedtar på den bakgrunn å endre tillatelsen slik at den er gyldig til og med 30. juni 2016. Vedtaket gjøres med hjemmel i naturmangfoldloven § 48 første ledd første alternativ. For øvrig gjelder de vilkår og forutsetninger som fremgår i brev av 25. mai 2016. Vedtaket kan påklages til Miljødirektoratet innen 3 uker, jamfør forvaltningsloven §§ 28 og 29. Klagen skal være skriftlig og begrunnet og sendes via Fylkesmannen i Finnmark, jamfør forvaltningsloven § 32.

Why? 4 6.2.2018 © Natural Resources Institute Finland Why not pink salmon in the catches? • Local fishermen are not get used to catch other species than salmon and seatrout • Tourist fishermen have payed a lot of money to catch silvery Atlantic salmon • Local fishermen catching Atlantic salmon with gillnets and weirs have an opinion that pink salmon in their fishing gears are scaring the real target, Atlantic salmon, away. Does this scaring help Atlantic salmon to avoid to be caught with traditional fishing methods? • In rod fishing from shore and boat pink salmon is disturbing the real Atlantic salmon fishery.

    The Horseshoe of Fennoscandia-A corridor for the long term survival of old-growth forest dependent species in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Rein Midteng, Asplan Viak. Norway. [email protected] 1.What is the Horseshoe of Fennoskandia? 2. What is its ecologial function? 3. Which subparts does it consist of? 4.Transboundary zones 5. How continuous and broad is the Horseshoe? 6. Key regions and areas in need of protection 7. Futher emphazis Un-protected old-growth forest in Pasvik 1.What is the Horseshoe of Fennoskandia? • Its a more or less continously corridor of old-growth forests from southern Finland/southeast Karealia to southern Norway/Sweden. • It consists of four subparts that are connected as a whole. These four subparts are although presented individually. In addition, it exists so called transboundary zones, which are “green” corridors with mostly continuously old-growth forests that stretch out from the Horseshoe. • Old-growth forests dominate the Horseshoe while in the rest of Fennoscandia culture forests dominate. • It consist of both protected and unprotected old-growth forests. • It includes a great variation of vegetationzones and foresttypes. • It is of major importance in the implementation of the Nagaya goals • It is of major importance for the preservation of old-growth forest species in Norway, Sweden, Finland and probably also in some parts of Russia. 2. What is its (ecologial) function? • It is a migrationzone east-west (since the last ice age), and the Fennoscandinavian countries share therefore to a large extent the same flora and fauna as Russia (low level of endemism). • It provides an exchange of species, individuals and genes to and forth in the Horseshoe.

Fishing areas Persons living permanently in Norway are permitted to fish on the border area, in the Norwegian tributaries and in the lower, Norwegian part of Tana River. Persons not living permanently in Norway, are not allowed to fish in the Norwegian tributaries of Tana river, except in the lower part of Tana main stem and the lower part of Kárášjohka downstream the joint of Iešjohka and Kárášjohka. The fishing rules for the Tana River applies for the salmon-area. In some of the tributaries that area is marked with signs. Above the salmon-area, the ordinary rules and fishing license for freshwater fisheries in Finnmark, apply. 2. Fishing time Fishing is prohibited from Sunday 18:00 hrs to Monday 180:0 hrs (Norwegian time). There is one exception: the area from Tana River mouth up to Langnes. 3. Minimum size Catching salmon, trout or char smaller than 25 cm is prohibited. Kelts must be released to the river. 4. Forbidden methods and areas Prohibited baits: prawns, shrimps, fish and earthworms. Using the fishing gear to hook the fish is not allowed. Rod fishing is prohibited within the fish fence guide-nets, within 50 m downstream of the fence, and 10 m to either side. Fishing is also prohibited within a 10 m distance from gill nets. In the main river it is prohibited to fish with rod from shore and boat within a 50 m distance downstream and upstream of the river mouths of salmon tributaries.

  • Tillatelse Til Felling Av Jerv I Øvre Anarjohka Nasjonalpark
    Miljødirektoratet Postboks 5672 Torgarden 7485 TRONDHEIM Deres ref Vår ref Dato 15/412-10 22. mars 2019 Tillatelse til felling av jerv i Øvre Anarjohka nasjonalpark - vinteren 2019 Klima- og miljødepartementet vedtar med hjemmel i verneforskriften for Øvre Anarjohka nasjonalpark at det kan felles inntil to jerv innenfor nasjonalparken. Beslutningen er begrunnet i skadesituasjonen for tamrein i området, bestandsstatusen til jerv og den effekten et uttak samlet sett vil ha på jervebestanden. Beslutningen gjelder i tidsrommet f.o.m. 21. mars t.o.m. 15. mai. Beslutningen gjelder kun innenfor nasjonalparkens grenser og erstatter ikke nødvendige tillatelser etter andre lover og forskrifter. Bakgrunn Miljødirektoratet ønsker å fatte beslutning om ekstraordinært uttak av inntil to jerv innenfor Øvre Anarjohka nasjonalpark i Finnmark fylke, med hjemmel i naturmangfoldloven § 18 tredje ledd, jf. første ledd b og § 77, jf. rovviltforskriften § 13, jf. §§ 1 og 3. Bakgrunnen er potensialet for tap av tamrein til jerv. Direktoratet opplyser at det så langt i 2019 ikke er funnet/registrert mange kadaver av rein innenfor nasjonalparken, men tidligere år viser et relativt høyt antall kadaverfunn, verifisert tapt til jerv. Vinteren 2017/2018 (november til og med mars) ble det funnet 49 kadaver verifisert tapt til jerv og 3 kadaverfunn med usikker vurdering. Kadaverleting er generelt vanskelig i disse vinterbeiteområdene hvor reinflokkene går tett og gjetere kjører rundt reinflokkene for å holde de adskilt fra hverandre. Gjetere unngår i størst mulig grad å kjøre inn i reinflokkene fordi de da lager spor som reinen kan følge og dette kan forårsake sammenblanding. Funn av reinkadaver er derfor helst i ytterkanten av flokken, da gjetere i liten grad følger jervesporene inn i reinflokkene.

  • Atlantic Salmon Monitoring and Research in the Tana River System
    Norwegian‐Finnish working group on monitoring and research in Tana Atlantic salmon monitoring and research in the Tana river system Outlining a monitoring and research program for the River Tana within the framework of the precautionary approach Morten Johansen, Jaakko Erkinaro, Eero Niemelä, Tor G. Heggberget, Martin A. Svenning, Sturla Brørs 2008 Atlantic salmon monitoring and research in the Tana river system Preface This report concludes the work of a working group put down to draft a monitoring and research program for the Atlantic salmon resource in River Tana, within the framework of the precautionary approach given by The North Atlantic Salmon Concervation Organization (NASCO). The mandate of The Tana Working Group (TWG) was outlined through joint meetings and co‐operation between The Directorate for Nature Management (DN) and The Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute (FGFRI/RKTL). The report is the responsibility of the Tana Working Group, and is based on both published and unpublished reports and data. In this report the working group suggests to establish a permanent Norwegian‐Finnish monitoring and research group for the Tana river system. At present such a group is under formation. The tasks of the group will be to give annual reports on Atlantic salmon stock status including trends in stock development, evaluate stock status according to NASCO's guidelines to the precautionary approach, identify knowledge gaps related these aspects. The group also can be asked to answer questions posed by the authorities concerning salmon management in Tana River system. Furthermore, tasks of a permanent group task list may be developed in the course of establishing.

Solveig would also like to thank Sámi Allaskuvla for financial support for the PhD-research on which this paper is based. Finally she thanks her supervisor Britt Kramvig who has supported her during the fieldwork and the writing of her dissertation. 1 ‘Nowadays there are so many people fishing. And of course they will catch fish if they fish day and night. The problem is that the fish never get any peace, not even for an hour.’ (The words of Petter Somby, Tana River fisherman) ‘An overview of threat factors in the Tana show that overexploitation of salmon in the different parts of the salmon migratory system is the major threat factor for Tana salmon.’ (A view from the biologists)2 Introduction In Sámi ‘Deatnu’ means ‘the big river’. It is also the Sámi name for a major river in Sápmi in north Norway and Finland.3 Deatnu is one of the most important salmon rivers of Europe.

Pekka Räinä, Annukka Puro, Outi Mähönen, Markku Örn, Lapplands Miljøsenter. NIVA - 4569-2002 Forord Den finsk-norske overvåkingen av Tanavassdraget startet i 1988 som følge av vedtak i den Finsk-Norske Grensevassdrags kommisjonen. Undersøkelsene er administrert av Fylkesmannen i Finnmark og Lapplands Miljøsenter. Fra finsk side ble prosjektet administrert av seksjonssjef Pekka Räinä, mens Marjaleena Nenonen har deltatt i planleggingen av undersøkelsen. Vassdragsforvalter Kjell Moen administrete prosjektet fra norsk side inntil sin altfor tidlige bortgang. Ny prosjektadministrator er vassdragsforvalter Harald Muladal, som også har revidert rapportens innledning. Denne rapporten omhandler resultatene fra undersøkelsene i 2001. Det meste av vannprøvetakingen er utført av Fylkesmannen i Finnmark og Statsskog, Finnmark. De vannkjemiske og bakteriologiske analysene er utført ved Lapplands Miljøsenter i Rovaniemi. Tor S.
