Type of law
Regulation
Abstract
This Regulation of the Government of Greenland sets rules for salmon fishing within Greenland’s fishing territory. It distinguishes between commercial, non-commercial, and tourist fishing, requiring licenses for commercial activity and imposing strict gear, vessel, and quota conditions. Commercial fishing is regulated through quotas and reporting obligations, while non-commercial fishing is restricted to Greenland residents under specific methods and timeframes. Tourist fishing is only allowed under separate payment regulations and may not involve trade. All catches, whether commercial or not, must be reported to the Fisheries License Control Authority (GFLK). Violations can lead to fines, confiscation of catches, and seizure of fishing gear.
