Regulation No. 38 on coastal fishing for halibut.

This Regulation of the Government of Greenland sets rules for coastal halibut fishing with vessels under 75 BRT/120 BT within three nautical miles from the baseline. It defines management areas and annual quotas based on biological advice and socio-economic considerations, distinguishing between larger vessels and small boats (up to 6 meters). Licenses are required, with separate provisions for Upernavik, Uummannaq, and Disko Bay, and different conditions for other regions. Use of nets or trawls is generally prohibited, though local dispensations may allow nets in specific areas and periods. Violations, such as unauthorized fishing, misuse of gear, or ignoring spacing rules, can lead to fines or confiscation.
