Cooperation Across the Davis Strait
KNAPK to take part in the negotiations in Ilulissat
KNAPK, the Greenland-
ic Association of Hun-
ters and Fishermen, will
sit down with the other
negotiators when Green-
land and Canada meet in
Ilulissat on January 16
and 17 to discuss the pro-
tection and management
of Narwhal and Beluga.
Greenland and Canada
have mutual interests in
these »small« cetaceans
which are not included in
the work done by IWC, the
International Whaling Com-
mission. In a number of ca-
ses it is actually a question
of shared populations.
The meeting in Ilulissat is
therefore a natural continur
ation of the Agreement on
Narwhal and Beluga signed
on December 7,1989 by the
Department for Fisheries,
Industiy and Settlements of
the Greenland Home Rule
and the Canadian Ministry
of Fisheries.
In this Agreement the two
parties recognize the im-
portance of the harvesting
of Narwhal and Beluga for
the Inuit of Greenland and
Canada. Research related to
these two cetaceans, which
has so far been scanty, will
therefore be coordinated
and reinforced. The com-
mon goal is to live up to the
concept of »a viable develop-
ment« as expressed in the
Brun tland Report »Our
Common Future« and in the
conservation strategy of
ICC.
The Delegation
The Greenlandic delegation
to the meeting in Ilulissat
will be lead by Einar Lem-
che, consultant from the
Denmark Office of the Gre-
enland Home Rule. Other
participants will be the well-
known hunter from Qaa-
naaq, Ussarqak K’ujaukit-
soq, Director Hans Lassen
and biologist Mads Peter
Heide-Jørgensen from the
Greenland Fisheries Rese-
arch Institute, Jens Poul-
sen, head of office, Amalie
Jessen, head clerk, and
Bjørn Rosing, consultant,
all from the Directorate of
Fisheries and Industry, Ing-
mar Egede, consultant from
ICC, Niels Holm, head clerk
from KANUKOKA, the As-
sociation of Greenlandic
Municipalities, and Pavia
Nielsen, chairman, and Al-
fred Jakobsen, consultant,
both from KNAPK.
Preliminary Meetings
On Monday and Tuesday, 14
and 15 Januaiy, the
delegates from the
Directorate of Fisheries and
Industry and from KNAPK
will hold preliminaiy
meetings with the local
fishermen in order to get a
first-hand impression of the
situation.
Prior to the joint meeting
between Greenland and Ca-
nada the representatives
from KNAPK, Pavia Niel-
sen and Alfred Jakobsen will
meet with the members of
KNAPK from Sisimiut, Aa-
siaat, Ilulissat, Uumman-
naq and Upemavik to hear
the local members’ opinion
on the harvesting of Nar-
whal and Beluga.
Joint Commission
According to the Agreement
of December, 1989 a joint
commission must be
appointed and its task will
be to propose recommenda-
tions concerning research,
conservation and
management of the
populations of Narwhal and
Beluga. The joint
commission must also
initiate the appointment of a
group of scientists to
support its work.
The joint commission will
establish the terms of refe-
rence for the scientific work
group and it is generally re-
sponsible for the exchange
of data and information on
the Narwhal and Beluga
between Greenland and Ca-
nada.
Greenland and Canada
each appoint two represen-
tatives to the joint commis-
sion. The Greenlandic dele-
gation has put forward the
names of Einar Lemche and
Ussarqak K’ujaukitsoq.
