Common concerns on ratio-
nal management, conserva-
tion and optimum utiliza-
tion of marine mammals has
led to the formation of a re-
gional management body in
the North Atlantic.
Countries bordering to
the North Atlantic signed an
agreement to establish The
North Atlantic Marine
Mammal Commission,
NAMMCO, in Nuuk on
April 9, 1992.
The agreement to coope-
rate on research, conserva-
tion and management of
marine mammals was sig-
ned by Greenland, Iceland,
Faroe Islands, and Norway
in pursuance of objectives
laid down in a Memoran-
dum of Understanding, sig-
ned in Tromsø on April 19,
1990. The agreement is open
for signature for Canada
and Russia, both official ob-
servers to NAMMCO, upon
unanimous consent from
the existing Signatories.
The agreement entered
into force only 90 days after
it was signed. First then, the
Commission began to deve-
lop the actual structure of
NAMMCO. The NAMMCO
Secretariat is now in opera-
tion and is placed in Tromsø
in Northern Norway.
The Secretariat
The Assistant Secretary of
the NAMMCO Secretariat,
Jens Paulsen, was recently
interviewed by Inuit Tusaa-
taat. Jens Paulsen explained
that the NAMMCO Secreta-
riat is currently situated on
the University of Tromsø
Campus in connection to the
Department of Arctic Biolo-
gy. However, the Secretariat
is expected to move into the
Nordic Institute of Reindeer
Sciences in the beginning of
1994.
Jens Paulsen, who has a
degree in law, was hired by
NAMMCO in September
and started working in the
Secretariat in Tromsø in Oc-
tober of this year. Before
that, Jens Paulsen worked
as head of the department in
the Greenland Home Rule
Department of Fisheries,
Hunting and Agriculture for
several years, dealing main-
ly with fisheries and hun-
ting issues. He continues:
- Kjartan Hoydal from the
Faroe Islands was elected
Chairman of the NAMMCO
Commission, and we are two
staff placed direetly under
him. My collegue, the Secre-
tary of NAMMCO, Kate
Sanderson started working
on August lst, but only mo-
ved to Tromsø on Septem-
ber lst this fali. The opera-
tional budget of Nammco,
including salaries, is ap-
proximately 2,3 million
NKR, covered by member-
ship fees. Greenland and Fa-
roe Islands each contributes
DKR 250.000, Iceland DKR
500.000, and Norway con-
tributes 1 million NKR plus
another 250.000 NKR to the
Secretariat.
The structure
In accordance with the agre-
ement, NAMMCO is formed
by the Council, a Scientific
Committee, a number of
management committees,
and a Secretariat. In addi-
tion to these bodies, the
Council and the Scientific
Committee may establish
various working groups to
deal with specific issues.
The Scientific Committee is
chaired by Johann Sigur-
jonsson from Iceland. The
Assistant Secretaiy ou tlines
the structure of NAMMCO
as foliows:
- According to our proce-
dures, a NAMMCO manage-
ment committee may advise
the Council to recommend
research to be conducted on
difierent species of marine
mammals.
- Until now, the following
species have been singled
out to be dealt with as agen-
da items in NAMMCO: Pilot
whales, hooded seals, harp
seals, and killer whales or
orcas. These mammals are
currently subject to scienti-
fic research and manage-
ment discussions at NAMM-
CO meetings.
Management
procedures
Further, Jens Paulsen ex-
plains that the Scientific
Committee will have a mee-
ting in Iceland in November
to discuss, among other is-
sues, possible management
procedures.
- The most important pur-
pose of the meeting is to ma-
ke decisions with regards to
the choice of management
procedures, so as to ensure a
sustainable utilization of
marine mammals. Popula-
tion estimates and assess-
ment of stocks will form the
basis for recommendations
on future management mea-
sures.
The next NAMMCO mee-
ting will be held in Tromsø
on February 24th and 25th,
1994.
ICC Greenland has parti-
cipated in some of the initial
meetings of NAMMCO, and
will continue to monitor the
operation of NAMMCO in
the future, on behalf of its
membership in the circum-
polar region.
