Abstract
This Greenland Hone Rule Regulation sets rules for salmon fishing in Greenland’s waters. It distinguishes between commercial, non-commercial, and tourist fishing, requiring licenses for commercial activities and restricting gear types, vessel sizes, and fishing areas. Quotas and sub-quotas are set annually, with strict reporting obligations to the Greenland Fisheries License Control (GFLK) for both sales and catches, whether commercial or private. Non-commercial fishing is reserved for residents, while tourist fishing is only allowed under specific payment schemes, with catches barred from sale. The regulation mandates cooperation with authorities for inspections and provides for fines and confiscation of catches or gear in case of violations.
