"Sustainable development is development that satisfies present requirements without jeopardising the capacity of future generations to satisfy theirs." -
Our Common Future — Report
from the World Commission on the Environment and Development (Brundtland
Report), 1987.
Sustainable
Use of Resources - Fisheries.
The utilization of natural resources has been the livelihood of Icelanders
throughout the ages and the economy still relies heavily on natural resources.
Sustainable use of the resources is therefore vital for present and future
generations. The main task within the Icelandic fishing industry is to use
living marine resources in such a manner that the long-term capacity of
the exploitable marine stocks is maintained or increased. Laws and regulations
deal with mesh size, closure of fishing grounds, inspection and enforcement,
and no-discard rules.
