hygiyУчитесь, дикари, как письма надо писать. Вместо "да пошли вы нахуй, нам насрать" вона скока всего, не лень ведь было. Культура, хуле, Европа.
Thank you for your interest in Iceland?s policy on whaling.
As you may know Iceland is a consistent advocate of the principle of
sustainable use of natural resources. This is reflected in Iceland?s
whaling activities, which have never involved any of the endangered whale
species, killed on a large scale by other whaling nations in the past.
Several countries catch whales, most of them on a much bigger scale
than Iceland. The biggest whaling countries among the members of the
International Whaling Commission (IWC) are the United States, Russia,
Norway, Japan and Greenland. The whaling operations practiced by all those
countries, as well as Iceland, are sustainable and legal and in accordance
with the rules of the IWC.
Iceland fully appreciates the need for careful conservation of marine
resources. Our economy depends on those resources. Iceland was among the
first countries in the world to extend its fishery limits to 200 nautical
miles in the year 1975, in order to put an end to the uncontrolled fishing
around Iceland by trawlers from other countries.
Iceland was also one of the first countries in the world to take a
conservationist approach to whaling. As signs of overexploitation of whales
by other nations emerged early in the last century, Iceland declared a ban
on whaling for large whales around Iceland in 1915. Whaling was not resumed
until 1948, except for limited catches 1935-1939. Strict rules and
limitations were applied to whaling in Iceland from 1948 to 1985 when
commercial whaling was halted again following a decision by the IWC.
Iceland believes that the whaling issue should not be handled as an
exception from the principle of sustainable use of natural resources. A
research plan on common minke whales was implemented 2003 ? 2007 involving
the take of a total 200 animals in order to gain better understanding of
the role of common minke whales in the ecosystem. Important material was
collected, which is now studied by scientists in order to increase our
knowledge on the position of common minke whales in the food chain and how
they prey on other species in their habitat affecting their abundance.
Commercial whaling was resumed in 2006 with 7 fin whales and one
common minke whale caught commercially in that year, in addition to 60
common minke whales caught in accordance with the research plan. The
following year a total of 44 common minke whales were caught in Iceland,
including catches from both commercial whaling operations and the
conclusion of the scientific whaling program. A commercial quota of 40
common minke whales is set for the year 2008. The scientific program is no
longer operated. No quota for fin whales has been issued this year.
The abundance of both common minke whales and fin whales has been
confirmed by the Scientific Committies of the International Whaling
Commission (IWC) and the North-Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO),
as as can been seen from their websites www.iwcoffice.org and www.nammco.no
.
Iceland is an advocate of international cooperation in ensuring
sustainable use of living marine resources, including whales. This has been
the position taken by Iceland within the IWC, based on the International
Convention for the Regulation of Whaling from 1946. The stated role of the
IWC, according to its founding Convention, is to ?provide for the proper
conservation of whale stocks and thus make possible the orderly development
of the whaling industry?.
I hope that this information will be useful to you in understanding
Iceland?s position on sustainable whaling. You may rest assured, that the
desire to ensure the conservation of the whale stocks as well as other
marine species is fully shared by the Icelandic Government.
Sincerely yours,
