Skráin er rafræn en árlega er gefið út þetta vefrit sem sýnir stöðu hennar í ársbyrjun. Á aðalskipaskrá 1. janúar 2008 voru samtals 2.323 skip. Á árinu 2007 voru frumskráð og endurskráð skip 81 talsins en afskráð skip voru 67. Þann fyrsta janúar 2008 voru samtals 1.123 þilfarsskip á skrá og heildar-brúttótonnatala þeirra var 218.129. Opnir bátar voru samtals 1.200 og brúttótonnatala þeirra var 7.106. Heildar- brúttótonnatala skipastólsins hefur lækkað um 959 tonn frá því í upphafi ársins 2007 en fljótandi förum landsmanna fjölgaði um 14. Á þurrleiguskrá er eitt skip, Keilir, 4.342 brúttótonn.

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.

  • Iceland Can Be Considered Volcanologist “Heaven”
    Iceland can be considered volcanologist “heaven” 1) Sub-aerial continuation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge 2) Intersection of a mantle plume with a spreading ocean ridge 3) Volcanism associated with tectonic rifting 4) Sub-glacial volcanism 5) Tertiary flood (plateau) basalts 6) Bi-modal volcanism 7) Submarine volcanism 8) 18 historically active volcanoes 9) Eruptions roughly every 5 years 1. The North Atlantic opened about 54 Ma separating Greenland from Europe. 2. Spreading was initially along the now extinct Agir ridge (AER). 3. The Icelandic plume was under Greenland at that time. 4. The Greenland – Faeroe ridge represents the plume track during the history of the NE Atlantic. Kolbeinsey ridge (KR) 5. During the last 20 Ma the Reykjanes Ridge (RR) Icelandic rift zones have migrated eastward, stepwise, maintaining their position near the plume 6. The plume center is thought to be beneath Vatnajökull 1 North Rift Zone – currently active East Rift Zone – currently active West Rift Zone – last erupted about 1000-1300 AD [Also eastern (Oræfajökull) and western (Snæfellsnese) flank zones] Rift zones comprise en-echelon basaltic fissure swarms 5-15 km wide and up to 200 km long. Over time these fissures swarms develop a volcanic center, eventually maturing into a central volcano with a caldera and silicic Tertiary volcanics > 3.1 Ma volcanism Late Tertiary to Early Quaternary 3.1 – 0.7 Ma Neo-volcanic zone <0.7 - present Schematic representation of Iceland’s mantle plume.

  • Phoca Vitulina) in Icelandic Waters
    Monitoring trends in the abundance of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in Icelandic waters Erlingur Hauksson Fornistekkur 14, IS-109 Reykjavik, Iceland ABSTRACT Harbours seal ( Phoca vitulina) numbers along the coast of Iceland were monitored by aerial survey in the period 1980-2006. Trends in the abundance of the harbour seal population on the whole coast and in coastal regions of Iceland waters were estimated using ANCOVA on the sur - vey counts, corrected for the influence of several covariates. Harbour seals were found in every coastal area, but were most abundant in Faxaflói, Breiðafjörður and on the northwest coast in the beginning of this study. Harbour seal numbers declined significantly at a rate of res t = -0.04 (SE 0.005) y r-1 during this period. Decline was highest in Faxaflói and at the south coast ( ≅7%), while the east coast experienced a significant but lesser ( ≅1%) decline. Other coastal areas did not show significant trends. The northwest coast was the richest harbour seal area in Iceland in 2006. In Icelandic waters seals are commercially harvested, and unreported but probably high numbers of harbour seals are killed intentionally by shooting and accidentally in fishing gear each year. These factors likely contributed to the overall observed decline in seal numbers. Hauksson, E. 2010. Monitoring trends in the abundance of harbour seals ( Phoca vitulina ) in Icelandic waters.

  • Iceland Straight Baselines
    2 STRAIGHT BASELINES: ICELAND Iceland's most recent action altering their system of straight baselines was the issuance on March 11, 1961, of the Regulations Concerning the Fishery Jurisdiction of Iceland. The Regulations were promulgated on April 22, 1961. These 1961 Regulations alter the straight baselines of the preceding decrees of 1952 and 1958. An exchange of notes between Iceland and the United Kingdom, on March 11, 1961, specified the changes that were to be made to the 1958 decree and incorporated in the new 1961 declaration. Iceland claims a four nautical-mile territorial sea and a 12 nautical mile fishery limit, as measured from the straight baselines. Iceland, although a signatory, is not a party to any of the four 1958 Geneva conventions on the law of the sea. These conventions concern the territorial sea and contiguous zone, the high seas, the continental shelf, and fishing and conservation of living resources of the high seas. The pertinent articles of the Regulations concerning the Fishery Jurisdiction of Iceland are as follows: Article 1 The fishery jurisdiction of Iceland shall be delimited 12 nautical miles outside base lines drawn between the following points: 1. Horn 66° 27'4 N Lat. 22° 24'5 W. Long. 2. Asbudarrif 66° 08'1 N 20° 11'2 W. 3. Siglunes 66° 11'9 N 18° 50'1 W. 4. Flatey 66° 10'3 N 17° 50'5 W. 5. Lagey 66° 17'8 N 17° 07'0 W. 6.

  • 40. Magmatic Development of the Southeast Greenland Margin and Evolution of the Iceland Plume: Geochemical Constraints from Leg 1521
    Saunders, A.D., Larsen, H.C., and Wise, S.W., Jr. (Eds.), 1998 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 152 40. MAGMATIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTHEAST GREENLAND MARGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE ICELAND PLUME: GEOCHEMICAL CONSTRAINTS FROM LEG 1521 Andrew D. Saunders,2 Hans Christian Larsen,3 and J. Godfrey Fitton4 ABSTRACT Leg 152, located on the southeast Greenland Margin, successfully recovered igneous rocks from three drill sites along a transect at 63°N: 915, 917, and 918. The margin is characterized by a 150-km-wide sequence of seaward-dipping reflectors (SDRS), and thus has an architecture typical of volcanic rifted margins. Site 917 was located close to the inboard, feather-edge of the SDRS, on the continental shelf, and drilling recovered rocks ranging in composition from picrite to dacite. Site 915 was immediately oceanward of Site 917, and Site 918 was located on the continental rise, in the main sequence of the SDRS. Drill- ing at both Sites 915 and 918 recovered basalt. Ash horizons were cored in the sediment column at Site 918 and Site 919 in the Irminger Basin. The oldest recovered lavas (the Lower and Middle Series from Site 917), erupted approximately 61 m.y. ago, sit on steeply dipping pre-rift metasediments. They are variably contaminated by ancient amphibolite- and granulite-facies crust, consistent with eruption in a continental setting before plate breakup. A few of the Lower Series lavas are high-MgO basalts. The amount of contamination decreased dramatically in the succeeding Upper Series lavas, which also show evidence for a rapid shallowing of the average depth of melting, and contain a high proportion of picrites and high-MgO basalts.

  • The Skagafjörður Volcanic Zone – an Ephemeral Rift Zone
    - 65 - The Skagafjörður Volcanic Zone – An ephemeral Rift Zone Árni Hjartarson Geological Museum, Øster Voldgade 5-7, DK-1350 Copenhagen K National Energy Authority, Grensásvegur 9, 108 Reykjavik, Iceland Fax +354 568 8896 [email protected] Abstract In the Skagafjörður district, North Iceland, an unconformity with a sedimentary layer divides the strata pile into Neogene and Pleistocene volcanic successions. Neogene volcanism faded out 4-5 Ma when the area drifted out of the volcanic zone near the diverging boundaries of the North American and Eurasian crustal plates, after which erosion took over for about a million years. Volcanism started again at the beginning of the Pleistocene. Lava flows covered the eroded Neogene landscape and an uncon- formity was formed. It is proposed that the Pleistocene volcanic rocks above the unconformity all belong to a short-lived axial rift zone, the Skagafjörður zone. Eruptive sites belonging to this zone can be found dispersed in the area between the Hofsjökull central volcano and the mouth of Skagafjörður. The oldest volcanic formations of the Pleistocene rock series are from about 1.7 Ma, when rifting in the area started. The activity culminated in the early Pleistocene but declined in the late Pleistocene, and in the Holocene the activity seems to have been restricted entirely to the Hofsjökull central volcano. A prominent fault and fissure system belongs to the Skagafjörður zone. The tectonics indicate extension. It is suggested that a decline in the activity of the Iceland Mantle Plume, 2-3 million years ago, caused a rift jump away from the hot spot below Vatnajökull and formation of a temporary rift zone, the Skagafjörður zone, which for a while bridged the shortest way between the Reykjanes-Langjökull zone and Kolbeinsey ridge.

  • 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.
