  • Meir Sjøaure I Vassdraga Kring Hardangerfjorden Restaurering Og Habitatforbetrande Tiltak I Sjøaurevassdrag Langs Hardangerfjorden
    Meir sjøaure i vassdraga kring Hardangerfjorden Restaurering og habitatforbetrande tiltak i sjøaurevassdrag langs Hardangerfjorden. Sven-Helge Pedersen «Sjøaure Hardangerfjord» - for meir sjøaure i vassdraga kring Hardangerfjorden Ein interesseorganisasjon for grunneigarlag, jakt- og fiskelag i dei 10 kommunane kring Hardangerfjorden. Overordna mål å arbeide for å styrke lokale bestandar av laks og sjøaure i fjord og vassdrag. Sjøauren – ein historisk viktig art for Hardangerbygdene A. F. Mockler-Ferryman si reiseskildring “In the Northman’s Land” (London 1896): Om Eide/Granvin: There is very fair salmon and trout fishing, and, when the river is not let, the guests at the hotel can try their luck, though, owing to the numerous salmon traps, the chances are against the angler taking any large salmon, but, still, the sea-trout are not to be despised.. Om Eidfjord: ..This, then, is the time for the sportsman, who, with a boatman af any intelligence and with the proper minnows, should manage to kill a goodly number of sea-trout in the afternoon. .. Apart from salmon fishing, I know of no greater excitement (in a mild way) than to try conclusions with a heavy sea-trout and a light rod. Tiltak for å betre sjøaureproduksjonen i 28 vassdrag Rådgivende Biologer rapport 1781 - 2013 “Forslag til tiltak for sjøaure i utvalgte vassdrag ved Hardangerfjorden” ✓ I 2012 og 2013 vart 28 anadrome vassdrag i 8 kommunar langs Hardangerfjorden undersøkt med fokus på inngrep og status av sjøaurehabitat. ✓ Inngrepa vart vurdert etter vannforskrifta. ✓ 104 km vassdrag er undersøkt langs Hardangerfjorden for å kartlegge inngrep og status i leveområde for sjøaure. ✓ Resultatet er ei liste med rundt 90 tiltak for å betre produksjonen av sjøaure langs fjorden.

  • Folketal Og Demografi 2 Føreord
    HORDALAND I TAL Nr. 1 - 2018 Folketal og demografi 2 Føreord Hordaland i tal nr. 1 2018 presenterer folketalsutviklinga i fylket og på regions- og kommunenivå. I dette nummeret tek vi og eit blikk nordover til Sogn og Fjordane som saman med Hordaland skal inngå i Vestland fylkeskommune frå 1. januar 2020. Frå 2017 til 2018 auka folketalet i Hordaland med 0,5 % som er den lågaste veksten sidan 1998. Hordaland er ikkje ein isolert del av Europa og av verda, men blir påverka av internasjonale konjunkturar, av krigar og sosial uro og nød i andre delar av verda som driv menneske på flukt. Dette påverkar folketalsut- viklinga i Hordaland. Innvandring har bidrege positivt til folketalsutviklinga i alle kommunar i Hordaland og Sogn og Fjordane sidan 2013 og statistikken viser at mange kommunar er heilt avhengig av nye innbyggjarar frå utlandet. For kommunane med befolkningsnedgang har innvandringa bremsa reduksjonen i folketalet. I 2017 fekk vi ein kraftig reduksjon i innvandringa til Hordaland. Samstundes ser vi at det kjem stadig færre innvandrar frå Europa, som har dominert innvandringsstraumen til Hordaland dei seinare åra. Dette heng saman med auken i arbeidsløyse i Noreg og i nokre høve ein betre økonomisk situasjon i dei landa dei har kome frå. Polakkar er likevel framleis den klårt største innvandrargruppa i Noreg. Saman med rekordlåg netto innanlandsk flytting og lågt fødselsoverskot, har dette ført til den låge folkeveksten vi no har hatt siste året i Hordaland. Korleis desse tilhøva slår ut i din kommune og din region, kan du lese meir om i dette nummeret av Hordaland i tal, saman med mykje anna nyttig informasjon om folketalsutviklinga.
