Right from the start three years ago, the Government of Aqqaluaq B. Egede Greenland has included a wide range Minister of Finance and Taxes of stakeholders in the process. For instance, every year it has collected many good proposals for the devel- opment of the community profile. Throughout the entire process, the common thread for the Government of Greenland has been to create the framework for a more self-sustaining economy. Furthermore, the Govern- ment of Greenland wants this frame- work to provide better opportunities for a more balanced development for all municipalities. Over the com- ing years, the government intends to continue its work in ensuring effective parameters for our joint planning. The national spatial planning reports are specifically designed to foster transparency and identify a number of underlying conditions and tenden- cies. Based on these reports, it is the job of politicians, both in the muni- cipalities and in parliament, to make decisions on the path that we wish to take to achieve our common political objectives. 8 The Necessity of Close Collaboration Chapter 1 1.0 Aspects of Economic and Physical Planning There are a series of common charac- communities throughout the country. teristics shared by economic and This is primarily because a significant physical national planning. proportion of all construction projects rely on public construction funds.

    Kujalleq Nutaaq ERHVERVSUDVIKLINGS FORSLAG for Kommune Kujalleq Version 1.0 - 2020 Innovation South Greenland A/S, Torvevej 34, Postboks 313, 3920 Qaqortoq, Greenland Oqarasuaat +299 537777, e-mail: [email protected] Forord Innovation South Greenland arbejder målrettet for at få udviklingen i gang i hele Sydgrønland. Dette dokument afspejler anbefalingerne til Kommunalbestyrelsen. 1. Ser man på infrastrukturen er det gennem en årrække blevet svært at rejse rundt i Kommunen. 2. Det er en udfordring at få vareforsyninger, dyrt og svært at sende varer fra sydgrønland og svært at holde møder osv. Af disse og flere andre årsager er udviklingen gået nærmest i stå. 3. Resultatet har været at der er sket en gradvis en fraflytning. Desuden har personer med højere kompetencer fået gode jobs andre steder. Det er ganske enkelt blevet svært at skabe et livsgrundlag på et personligt plan, for familier og for erhvervslivet. Derfor har man etableret Innovation South Greenland A/S for at skabe vækst, udvikling og rådgivning af iværksættere. En konkret opgave som er blevet givet Innovation South Greenland A/S er at finde en løsning for Narsarsuaq i et nyt scenarie. Det vigtige er imidlertid at se på hele Sydgrønland som en sammenhængende region. Den første forudsætning er at skabe håb og troværdighed. Dernæst at man får en tidssvarende infrastruktur på plads. Ydermere skal der opdyrkes en iværksætterkultur som understøttes af igangsætning af konkrete projekter. Sidst og ikke mindst skal der tiltrækkes investeringer udefra og indgås bilaterale aftaler som kan styrke regionen. Erhvervsudviklingen skal baseres på et tæt samarbejde med Erhvervslivet, Kommunen, Selvstyret og Uddannelsesinstitutionerne i kommunen.

The fishery peaks in late May/early June. Prior to year 2000, reported roe landings were below 500 t, but in the last decade landings have steadily increased, reaching the highest level in 2013 with 2 124 t (Fig. 1). Since then, catches have generally decreased, now being around 1 000 t. Before 2015 the fishery was unregulated, but in 2015 a management plan was implemented, that operates with TAC and restricted number of fishing days. The West Coast is divided into seven management areas, with the onset of the fishery being area de- pendent due to a timely displaced onset of spawning. The fishery is conducted from small open boats (<6.5m) that operates with gill nets that typically fish for 24 hours. Due to the large mesh size (260mm) the nets are highly selective, and catch predominantly female lumpfish, which are much larger than males (Hedeholm et al. 2013). Upon capture, the roe is removed from the fish, and stored in large barrels before landed at land based facilities. Hence, the number of fish landed is not reported, but only the total amount of roe. Due to the size of the fishing vessels, there is an upper limit to the number of nets each boat can carry.

Over the last two decades, the flux of icebergs into Greenland’s fjords and coastal waters has increased, concurrent with changes in mass loss and dynamics of Greenland’s marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Icebergs impact fjord circulation and stratification, freshwater flux, and ecosystem structure and pose a hazard to marine navigation and infrastructure, yet they remain a relatively understudied component of the ice–ocean system. Icebergs are easily detected in optical satellite imagery, 5 but manual analysis to derive an iceberg size distribution time series is time prohibitive and partially cloudy scenes pose a challenge to automated analysis. Here we present a novel, computationally simple machine learning-based cloud mask for Landsat 7 and 8. This mask is incorporated into a larger iceberg delineation algorithm that allows us to extract iceberg size distributions, including outlines of individual icebergs, for cloud-free and partially cloud-covered Landsat scenes.

  • Ilulissat Icefjord
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1149.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Ilulissat Icefjord DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: DENMARK CRITERIA: N (i) (iii) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (19m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 35 cu. km of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes. Criterion (iii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250-km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240-ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea.
