The work has concentrated on harbour seals and their interaction with humans, in terms of fi shery, recreational and constructional activity. The PhD project was motivated by the ongoing confl ict of interest between human activities (commercial and recreational) and the interest of protection, and aims at contributing with information to management of the Danish seal reserves. This PhD thesis consists of four introductory chapters and six scientifi c papers. The six papers included represent the results of the scientifi c work conducted during my PhD study. As this work relates directly to the Danish management of seals, the fi rst introductory chapters introduce the current management of seals in Denmark (chapter I), the movements of harbour seals in Danish waters (chapter II), the interaction between harbour seals and humans (chapter III), while chapter IV summarises the conclusions from the previous chapters and puts them into the context of Danish management of seals. During my PhD study I was enrolled in the PhD School Sense organs, Nerve systems, Behaviour, and Communication (SNAK). My PhD was conducted with fi nancial support from SNAK, the Dean of the Faculty of Science, University of Southern Denmark, and the Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University. Additional fi nancial support was kindly granted by the Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation, the Danish Outdoor Council, the Danish Nature Agency, Gorenje and Knud Højgaards Fond. PhD thesis by Signe May Andersen 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my two supervisors, Lee A. Miller, University of Southern Denmark and Jonas Teilmann, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, for their help and support during my PhD study. Many thanks also to the co-authors of the included manuscripts for letting me use our joint papers in this thesis. I am very thankful to the former director of research Dr. Jesper Madsen who gave me the opportunity to work on this PhD-project, and put me on this track in the very beginning. I would like to thank the staff at Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, Nuuk, Greenland, for making my stay there very exciting, especially thanks to Nannette, Philip and Aqqalu. The following people have all been extremely helpful in connection with my PhD project and I thank them all: Morten Abildstrøm and Lotte Wissum for their invaluable help during my fi eldwork and for their hospitality, Annette Bombosch, Theis Taarnby Nygaard, my colleagues at the Department of Bioscience, and the personnel from the Danish Maritime Safety Administration for their assistance in the fi eld. Bernhard Fabricius and Kjeld Moser helped with the camera system, but without the help from Jan Nielsen during the many times the camera system posed problems, this setup would have been impossible. Bendt Nielsen has been very hospitable and I am thankful to him for letting me and my fi eld assistants use the light house for observation and the gas house for staying at times when it was not possible to stay at the Fyrgården. I am grateful to Aréns for giving me the opportunity to stay at Fyrgården, a fantastic place to stay and a perfect place to match fi eldwork with family. And thanks to Erik Buchwald and Henrik Lykke Sørensen, Danish Nature Agency, for clarifying the Habitats Directive and the legislation regarding the Danish seal reserves. I would also like to thank my other colleagues at the late Department of Arctic Environment (though you haven’t seen much of me lately), especially my fellow PhD student Susi Edrén for company during the years, and Mikkel Tamstorf and Signe Sveegaard for patiently assisting me with GIS. I am very grateful to Niels Martin Schmidt, Asbjørn, Kalle and Vilma, and the rest of my family, for their continuous support and assistance during my study. I am especially thankful to Asbjørn, Kalle and Vilma for your patience during the last couple of months, and for your company during the many trips to Anholt. Thank you for not accepting this PhD as equal to you, and for showing me the level of understanding appropriate for your age: Kalle and Vilma, now the ADHD and Åh- D, is over. And again, as it cannot be said to often, I am forever indebted to Niels for guiding me through this project. 6 PhD thesis by Signe May Andersen DANSK RESUMÉ Siden fredningen af spættet sæl i Danmark i 1977 er fl ere sælreservater blevet etableret.

The offshore turbines are connected by cable to the transformer at the Amager power plant 3.5 km away. Kongedybet Hollænderdybet Middelgrunden Saltholm Flak 2 From Idea to Reality The idea of the Middelgrunden wind project was born in a group of visionary people in Copenhagen already in 1993. However it took seven years and a lot of work before the first cooperatively owned offshore wind farm became a reality. Today the 40 MW wind farm with twenty modern 2 MW wind turbines developed by the Middelgrunden Wind Turbine Cooperative and Copenhagen Energy Wind is producing electricity for more than 40,000 households in Copenhagen. In 1996 the local association Copenhagen Environment and Energy Office took the initiative of forming a working group for placing turbines on the Middelgrunden shoal and a proposal with 27 turbines was presented to the public. At that time the Danish Energy Authority had mapped the Middelgrunden shoal as a potential site for wind development, but it was not given high priority by the civil servants and the power utility.

Remote sensing using airborne and satellite sensors is an essential tool for rapidly investigating human traces over large surfaces of our planet, but even large monumental structures may be visible as only faint indications on the surface. In this paper, we demonstrate the utility of a machine learning approach using airborne laser scanning data to address a “needle-in-a-haystack” problem, which involves the search for remnants of Viking ring fortresses throughout Denmark. First ring detection was applied using the Hough circle transformations and template matching, which detected 202,048 circular features in Denmark. This was reduced to 199 candidate sites by using their geometric properties and the application of machine learning techniques to classify the cultural and topographic context of the features. Two of these near perfectly circular features are convincing candidates for Viking Age fortresses, and two are candidates for either glacial landscape features or simple meteor craters.

    The Regime of Passage Through the Danish Straits Alex G. Oude Elferink* Netherlands Institute for the Law of the Sea, Utrecht University, The Netherlands ABSTRACT The Danish Straits are the main connection between the Baltic Sea and the world oceans. The regime of passage through these straits has been the subject of extensiveregulation, raising the question how different applicable instruments interact. Apart from applicable bilateral and multilateral treaties, it is necessaryto take into account the practice of Denmark and Swedenand other interested states, and regulatory activities within the framework of the IMO. The Case ConcerningPassage Through the Great Belt before the ICJ provides insights into the views of Denmark and Finland. The article concludesthat an 1857treaty excludesthe applicabilityof Part III of the LOS Convention to the straits, and that there are a number of difficultiesin assessingthe contents of the regimeof the straits. At the same time, these uncertaintiesdo not seem to have been a complicatingfactor for the adoption of measuresto regulate shipping traffic. Introduction The Danish Straits are the main connection between the Baltic Sea and the world oceans. The straits are of vital importance for the maritime communication of the Baltic states and squarely fall within the legal category of straits used for international navigation For a number of these states the Baltic Sea is the only outlet to the oceans (Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland).

    Plan for fiskepleje i vandløb på Lolland, Falster og Møn Distrikt 7, vandsystem 09-56 Distrikt 8, vandsystem 01-49 Plan nr. 13-2011 Af Morten Carøe Plan for fiskepleje i vandløb på Lolland, Falster og Møn Distrikt 7- vandsystem 09 – 56 Distrikt 8- vandsystem 01 – 49 I. Indledning Denne plan er udarbejdet på baggrund af undersøgelser over den fiskeribiologiske tilstand i ovennævnte vandsystemer på Lolland, Falster og Møn. Undersøgelsen er foretaget i perioden fra den 11. til den 22. oktober 2010 af DTU Aqua, Sektion for Ferskvandsfiskeri og - økologi med assistance fra medlemmer fra Lystfiskerforeningen for Nykøbing F og Omegn og Møns Sportsfiskerforening. Planen er en revision af den tidligere plan fra år 2003. Planen er udarbejdet som led i de aktiviteter, der sker i forbindelse med den generelle fiskepleje. Vordingborg og Guldborg kommuner har været behjælpelige med oplysninger om restaureringer og vandløbsnavne m.m. Medlemmer fra Lystfiskerforeningen for Nykøbing F og Omegn og Møns Sportfiskerforening, især Thomas Brygger og Kim Keldborg, har været behjælpelige med oplysnin- ger om de generelle fysiske forhold i vandløbene, herunder en beskrivelse af de restaureringstiltag som er foretaget. Udsætninger i vandløbene bliver varetaget af nævnte foreninger. Metode Planen er inddelt i 4 afsnit (I-IV) og et tilhørende oversigtskort. På kortet er der udlagt et stationsnet på de steder i vandsystemet, hvor der er en undersøgelses- eller udsætningstation. Ved teksten, af- snit II, er alle stationsnumrene nævnt, men alle stationer er ikke nødvendigvis blevet besigtiget eller befisket ved undersøgelsen. På kortet vil en station fremstå som et punkt med nummer. Såfremt der tillige er udsætning, vil stationen være vist ved et symbol, der samtidig angiver hvilken størrelses- gruppe, der skal udsættes.
