  • Rv 82 Miljøgate Andenes
    REGULERINGSPLAN FOR RV 82 MILJØGATE ANDENES Merknadsbehandling/Dokumenter til sluttbehandling Statens Vegvesen Region Nord, Midtre Hålogaland distrikt Harstad 16.11.2009 SAMMENDRAG Statens Vegvesen har med hjemmel i Plan og bygningslovens § 9-4 utarbeidet forslag til reguleringsplan for Rv 82, Miljøgate Andenes. Strekningen er deler av Storgata fra flyplasskrysset og til krysset ved Nordlandsbanken. Planarbeidet er gjort etter avtale med og i samråd med Andøy kommune. Hensikten med planarbeidet er å legge til rette for oppstramming av trafikale forhold langs Storgata på denne strekningen, samt bedring av forholdene for de myke trafikkantene med utvidelse og oppgradering av fortau og sikring av fotgjengeroverganger. Lokalisering av busstopp og parkeringslommer inngår også. Total lengde er ca 1 km. Prosjektet inngår som en del av trafikksikkerhetsarbeidet i Andenes sentrum. Arbeidet forutsettes gjort samtidig som kommunen foretar utskifting av sitt vann og avløpsnett som ligger i Storgata. Byggestart er avhengig av fylkeskommunale bevilgninger. Det er tidligere utarbeidet et planhefte som tar for seg saksbehandlingen fram til planen er utlagt til offentlig ettersyn, jf innholdsfortegnelsen 1-2. Etter at planen har vært utlagt til offentlig ettersyn i tiden 26.06 – 15.08.09 er det totalt innkommet 7 merknader til planforslaget med bestemmelser. Statens vegvesen har gjennomgått og kommentert disse. Etter avtale med kommunen ble det arrangert et informasjonsmøte om planen den 1.oktober 2009. Det foreligger i alt 7 innspill etter dette møtet. I tillegg har det vært drøftet med kommunen ulike detaljløsninger i planen. Planen er revidert 01.11.09 og gjennomgått med kommunen i møte 10.11.09. Det er ikke fremmet innsigelse til planen og dette medfører etter Statens vegvesen sitt syn at planen kan egengodkjennes av kommunestyret.

  • MOSKENES GUIDE 2008 T Moskenes in 1120, King Eystein Estab­ Eystein King 1120, in Control
    MOSKENES Area: 118.6 km2 Population: approx.1128 Municipal centre: Reine he island of Mosk enesøy is located in the untamed, western part of the Lofoten Is- Page lands. On the far side of the island, you will find long, chalk-white beaches. The island Tis surrounded by strong tidal currents like the Sundstraumen strait, and the infamous 28 Maelstrom. Glaciers and other forces of Nature have sculpted the island landscape, which is among the wildest and most fascinating that Norway can offer. Traces of Stone Age settlement dating back over 5,500 years can be found on the island. Several old place names, such as Moskenes, bear witness to early Sami settlement. The inhabitants of Moskenesøy live largely on the eastern side of the island, where the best harbour conditions are to be found. Earlier, there was also settlement along the entire northern coast of the island – the so-called outer coast, but owing to poor harbour conditions and perilous waters, all of them have now been abandoned. Å, Hamnøy and Sakrisøy are particularly well-known for their old, well-preserved architectural environment. The Lofoten Fishery, the Fishing Village and the Rorbu Cabin Abundant Resources in the North When the great glaciers receded from our northern coastlines, the cod began its annual migra- tion from the Barents Sea to spawn in the waters of Lofoten. Every winter for over 10,000 years, the coastal people have caught the tasty Norwegian Arctic cod, eating the fresh fish together with the liver and roes, or producing stockfish and cod liver oil - used for bartering and trading purposes.

  • Revision of the EU's Arctic Strategy
    Sent by e-mail Breivikbotn, November 9th 2020 Input – Revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy Additional input from a total of 40 municipalities in North Norway, to the public consultation regarding the revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy. The municipalities are represented by 5 inter- municipal counsils; Vest-Finnmark Rådet (7 municipalities in Troms and Finnmark County), Vesterålen regionråd (6 municipalities in Nordland County), Salten Regionråd (10 municipalities in Nordland County), Indre Helgeland Regionråd (5 municipalities in Nordland County) and Helgelandsrådet (12 municipalities in Nordland County); 1. In your view, what have been the EU’s main achievements and failures under each of the three priorities in the 2016 Joint Communication? Vest-Finnmark Rådet, Vesterålen regionråd, Salten Regionråd, Indre Helgeland Regionråd and Helgelandsrådet embraces the EU’s engagement in promoting sustainable development in the Arctic. This priority marks a positive shift in how the Arctic is perceived as a strategically important territory, with green growth potential for the region and Europe. The EU’s top priority should be to assist the region in overcoming the Arctic paradox. That is, changing a demographic trend that is inversely correlated with economic growth. A stable demographic development is a necessary precondition for development and security in the Arctic regions. The most important means of meeting regional challenges in the Nordic/European part of the Arctic is by making use of the large natural resources in the region to stimulate economic growth and create new attractive jobs including utilizing the research institutions in the Arctic. The EU’s Arctic engagement shows great achievement, as exemplified by the processes leading to the report on Arctic investment needs in 2017, and the EU Arctic Forum in 2019.

  • Artists Are Shaking up Norway's Cod-And-Knitwear Image in the Lofoten Archipelago, but There Are Still Cosy Cabins to Hole Up
    ROCKING IN THE ISLES ARTISTS ARE SHAKING UP NORWAY’S COD-AND-KNITWEAR IMAGE IN THE LOFOTEN ARCHIPELAGO, BUT THERE ARE STILL COSY CABINS TO HOLE UP IN AND PLATTERS OF SEAFOOD FOR SUPPER. BY SOPHIE CAMPBELL. PHOTOGRAPHS BY YADID LEVY The fishing village of Reine, on Moskenesøya in the Lofoten Islands 90 f you are a cod, these are the killing fields. Bunches of drying fish twist in the wind on birch frames the size of Dutch barns, and chunky working boats bristle with radar, net winches and fish-finding gear. If you are an artist, this is a land of light, clear and simple, which is why so many have made their way here in the past century and a half. If you are a visitor, this is where mountains shoot Iout of the sea like fins, their reflections diving to unfathomable depths in the fjords, and sweet little wooden houses cluster in shades of lemon and dove and brick and sky. But you mustn’t look too hard in case you fly off roads raised to let meltwater flow away and edged only with flimsy red poles. The Lofoten Islands barely qualify as an archipelago. They are more like a vestigial tail off the coast of Norway, 100km above the Arctic Circle and 230km south of Tromsø, connected to the mainland by a bridge about a kilometre long. More bridges swoop between the seven main islands, and around them skitter innumerable rocks and skerries. Fish is everywhere. It glints through the history and swims through the art.

Normalt er dette NINAs rapportering til opp- dragsgiver etter gjennomført forsknings-, overvåkings- eller utredningsarbeid. I tillegg vil serien favne mye av instituttets øvrige rapportering, for eksempel fra seminarer og konferanser, resul- tater av eget forsknings- og utredningsarbeid og litteraturstudier. NINA Rapport kan også utgis på annet språk når det er hensiktsmessig. NINA Temahefte Som navnet angir behandler temaheftene spesielle emner. Heftene utarbeides etter behov og serien favner svært vidt; fra systematiske bestemmelsesnøkler til informasjon om viktige prob- lemstillinger i samfunnet. NINA Temahefte gis vanligvis en populærvitenskapelig form med mer vekt på illustrasjoner enn NINA Rapport. NINA Fakta Faktaarkene har som mål å gjøre NINAs forskningsresultater raskt og enkelt tilgjengelig for et større publikum. De sendes til presse, ideelle organisasjoner, naturforvaltningen på ulike nivå, politikere og andre spesielt interesserte.

  • Trip to Lofoten
    7ULSWR/RIRWHQ :KHQ29th June --- 5th July :KRXiaomeng, Jinghai and my colleague Darius couple. Starting from Trondheim, we drove our Toyota on a one-week trip along the northern part of Norway, to Lofoten and return. Lofoten is said to be one of Norway’s most scenic holiday des- tinations, where you can see towering mountains with pointed peaks standing right in the mid- dle of the sea. It is an archipelago in the ocean, north of the Article Circle. I will describe my journey in a considerably detailed way, so that others can follow some of the trip if they want to. In the summer, when the mid- night sun is there, it’s almost daylight all through the night, so we decided to drive all the way from Trondheim to Lofoten within one day. We started early morning in Trondheim, headed north on E6 towards Bodø. E6 is relatively easy to ride but still there are lots of turns in the mountain roads. The terrain is quite hilly and most of the time, we were either up or down the mountain. The landscape along the road was quite pleasant, green woods, wild flowers and snow mountain peaks. When we were approaching the Arctic Circle, the landscape changed into an untamed wideness. It was such a unique place, so we decided to have a stop over on our way back from Lofoten. We arrived in Bodø just at the right time for the afternoon ferry from Bodø to Moskenes, which is situated in the southern part of the lofoten islands.

Sammendrag Fylkesmannen i Nordland gjennomførte forvaltningskontroll av tilskuddsordninger innen landbruket i Sortland kommune den 27. mai 2015. Tema for kontrollen var kommunens forvaltning av tilskuddsordningen Kommunale veterinærtjenester, herunder vakt-, stimulerings- og administrasjonstilskudd. Kontrollen omfattet forvaltning at tilskudd gitt i årene 2013 og 2014. Hovedinntrykket er at landbrukskontoret i Sortland kommune i stor grad etterlever gjeldende bestemmelser for tilskuddsforvaltning og føringer gitt fra sentrale landbruksmyndigheter. Dette i forhold til kommunale veterinærtjenester. Det ble avdekket 2 avvik og 2 merknader under kontrollen. Avvik er brudd på formelle krav fastsatt i lover, forskrifter, rundskriv eller jordbruksavtalen. Merknad er forhold som vi mener det er nødvendig å påpeke for å sikre god forvaltning av kontrollerte ordninger. 2. Grunnlag for kontrollen Grunnlag for kontrollen er reglement for økonomistyring i Staten §§ 14 og 15. For 2013: Rundskriv 01/13 fra Statens landbruksforvaltning(nå Landbruksdirektoratet)
