The Chemical Scorecard makes it easy to find information fast: where these chemicals come from n your community, what their known or suspected effects are, and what actions you can take. Some of the questions you can answer here are: Who Are the Polluters in Your Community? How Bad Is the Pollution in Your Community? What Do We Know About the Chemicals? What Chemicals Might Cause a Particular Health Effect? Is Government Doing Anything to Control These Chemicals? What Can You Do?

FISHERIES

Iceland’s system for fishing shares http://www.hafro.is/fiskistofa/dirfish/fishman/itq.html, These shares are based primarily on individual transferable quota shares, ITQ, that represent shares (percentages) in the total allowable catch, TAC, within the fishing year, of all regulated species. Hence, the permissible catch (catch quota) of each vessel is a simple multiple of its quota share and the TAC. Every vessel that fishes inside the Icelandic EEZ must hold a commercial fishing permit. Furthermore, in order to fish regulated species, the vessel must hold quota shares or catch quota, transferred from another vessel. The allocation of quota shares is mainly based on a vessel’s catch in previous fishing seasons. Shares are permanently attached to the vessels, but may be divided up and/or transferred.
