Amendments to the Regulations on environmental safety for ships and mobile offshore units 1. Introduction The Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) has laid down amendments to the Regulations of 30 May 2012 No. 488 on environmental safety for ships and mobile offshore units. The new rules include general amendments to the sewage provisions of sections 9 and 10 of the Environmental Safety Regulations and special provisions for the world heritage fjords. We lay down the same sulphur requirements as in emission control areas (ECAs) for the entire world heritage area, stricter requirements for NOx emissions, prohibition against the discharge of sewage and grey water, requirement for an environmental instruction and prohibition against incineration of waste on board ships in the world heritage fjords. 2. Consultation The proposed amendments were circulated for review from 4 June to 14 September 2018. In addition, the proposal was submitted to the EEA for review. Due to consultative comments, the Norwegian Maritime Authority considered it necessary to submit proposed amendments for review.

  • Visitor Management in the West Norwegian Fjords – Bridging the Gaps Between Disciplines, Sectors and Administrative Levels
    Visitor Management in the West Norwegian Fjords – Bridging the Gaps between Disciplines, Sectors and Administrative Levels Hanne Lykkja, Nærøyfjorden World Heritage Park, Norway, [email protected] Case description and research purpose Carrying Capacity in World Heritage Areas The West Norwegian Fjord landscape was entered on the UNESCO List in 2005. Steep valleys and mountainsides with numerous waterfalls and free-flowing rivers run across forests on their way to the sea. The fjords represent unique geological values and offer an outstanding natural beauty. There are still old farms and dairy farms, many of them now forsaken, but they introduce a cultural dimension to the landscape, which adds to and heightens the value of the area. The small communities of Flåm and Geiranger have 300 residents and receive 700,000 visitors each year (including cruise ship passengers). Limits of sustainability for nature, the local communities and tourism is a big debate. Each year, the media describe protests against mass tourism, pollution and noise. The Heritage council is working to establish more sustainable practices. (Lykkja and Knagenhjelm, 2014) UNESCO (2012) considers tourism to be the greatest threat to the World Herit- age Sites, while the industry also provides economic opportunities in and adjacent to the sites. UNESCO demands Visitor Management Strategies and regular reports proving the sites are being well maintained. Suitable methods for describing land- scape, “sense of place” and “outstanding beauty” have been developed in Norway (Direktoratet for naturforvaltning and Riksantikvaren, 2010). Methods for moni- toring and reporting have been developed internationally, but require adjustment to conditions in Norway (Day 2013, Gundersen et al 2011).

  • Draft Concept Paper: World Heritage Site Manager Workshop, Denmark 21 24 April 2009 Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit
    Draft Concept Paper: World Heritage Site Manager Workshop, Denmark 21 24 April 2009 Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit The Heritage Agency of Denmark has generously decided to host a workshop on the Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit (EoH). Representatives from all the Nordic sites are invited to attend. Nordic World Heritage Foundation will in cooperation with the Danish authorities organize this workshop in April 2009. The workshop is a result of the recommendations from the Periodic Reporting process. 1. Background and objectives The European Periodic Report was submitted to the World Heritage Committee at its 30th meeting in Vilnius 2006. The Nordic Baltic sub-regional report, annexed to the regional report, identifies a number of challenges for the implementation of the World Heritage Convention in the sub-region. Periodic Reporting is widely recognised as an important tool to strengthen and maintain the integrity and credibility of the World Heritage concept. The Periodic Reporting process has so far been successful in developing international cooperation and in providing an account of the status of World Heritage sites. This workshop follows the recommendations from the meeting between the Nordic and Baltic States Parties in 2007 (see Annex I Recommendations from the meeting on Periodic Reporting, Helsinki 3-4 May 2007 no: 6, 7 & 12). The World Heritage Committee will examine the Periodic Reporting follow-up activities for the European region at its 34th session in 2010. The Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit contains twelve practical tools. Although it has been developed with a focus on natural properties, the initiative also has potential value as a tool to assist site managers of cultural properties.

  • Mottakar Namn
    saksframlegg Dato: Referanse: Vår saksbehandlar: 16.03.2020 39352/2020 Johannes Devik Brekke Saksnr Utval Møtedato Fylkesutvalet 23.03.2020 Omstillingsprosjekt for Geiranger og verdsarvområdet Forslag til vedtak: 1. Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune vil ta eit tydelegare ansvar for å bidra til ei positiv utvikling av Geiranger og verdsarvområdet, og vil delta inn i det vidare arbeidet med å få på plass «Forum Geiranger». 2. Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune vil vurdere å definere Geiranger med omgivnader, delområde av verdsarvområdet Vestnorsk fjordlandskap, som eit omstillingsområde og søke støtte frå Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet for eit omstillingsprosjekt. 3. Fylkeskommunedirektøren kjem tilbake med konkretisering av tiltak og kostnader i strategi- og rammesaka. Bakgrunn Geiranger er i ei særstilling. Geiranger har om lag 200 fastbuande, men har nær 1 million besøkande gjennom turistsesongen. Talet cruiseanløp i Geiranger i løpet av sesongen gjer Geiranger til Norges tredje største cruisedestinasjon. Dette gir store moglegheiter, men og store utfordringar for ei lita bygd. Reiselivsnæringa er livsgrunnlaget for dei fleste som bur og arbeider i bygda. Omgivnadene gir Geiranger ein særskild status… Geirangerfjorden med omgivnader blei i 2005, saman med Nærøyfjorden, innskrive på UNESCO si verdsarvliste. Av dei 8 norske døma på kultur- og naturarv som er skrive inn på lista er det berre «Vestnorsk fjordlandskap» som er skrive inn som eit døme på unik naturarv. Dette gjer Geiranger til ein attraktiv stad å besøke og er noko av det som i dag gjer Geiranger til eit såkalla reiselivsfyrtårn i Norge. …men også særskilde utfordringar Med opptil 16 000 besøkande på toppdagane på sommaren, så seier det seg sjølv at dette stiller betydelig større krav til kommunale tenester, beredskap og infrastruktur enn størrelsen på bygda tilseier.
