Corine Land Cover (CLC) 2012 and CLC change 2006-2012 are two of the datasets produced within the frame of the Initial Operations of the Copernicus programme (the European Earth monitoring programme previously known as GMES) on land monitoring.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000, 2006 and 2012 being the last one. CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe. Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Copernicus land monitoring data in general can be found at http://land.copernicus.eu/.

Land Cover (LC) is one of 12 themes in the European Location Project (ELF). The purpose of ELF is to create harmonised cross-border, cross-theme, and cross-resolution pan-European reference data from national contributions. The goal is to provide INSPIRE-compliant data for Europe. A description of ELF (European Location Project) is here: http://www.elfproject.eu/content/overview. Encoding: INSPIRE version 4

Gögnin sýna mörk veiðisvæða. Fyrir nánari upplýsingar um gögnin er bent á að hafa samband við Umhverfisstofnun.

Gögnin sýna svæði þar sem rjúpnaveiði er óheimil allt árið um kring.

Hér eru að finna upplýsingar um svæði sem falla undir verndarflokk rammaáætlunar og eru friðlýst á grundvelli gildandi þingsályktana um áætlun um vernd og orkunýtingu landsvæða skv. lögum nr. 48/2011 um verndar- og orkunýtingaráætlun og 53. gr. laga um náttúruvernd nr. 60/2013.Vinsamlegast hafið sambandi við Umhverfisstofnun fyrir nánari upplýsingar.

Þekja ni_tillogur_a_Bhluta_allt_fl: Tillögur að svæðum á framkvæmdaáætlun (B-hluta) náttúruminjaskrár út frá verndun vistgerða, fugla, sela, jarðminja og fossa. Innan stærri verndarsvæða voru í sumum tilfellum afmörkuð smærri svæði sem draga fram forgangsvistgerðir eða fuglategundir sem eru ekki einkennandi fyrir heildarsvæðið. Mörk eru ekki alltaf nákvæmlega skilgreind. Náttúruminjaskrá skiptist í þrjá hluta sem auðkenndir eru sem A, B og C-hluti. B-hluti er framkvæmdaáætlun náttúruminjaskrár þ.e. skrá yfir þær náttúruminjar sem Alþingi hefur ákveðið að setja í forgang um friðlýsingu eða friðun á næstu fimm árum. Í lögunum er lögð áhersla á að byggja upp skipulegt net verndarsvæða til að stuðla að vernd líffræðilegrar fjölbreytni, jarðbreytileika og fjölbreytni landslags. Náttúrufræðistofnun Íslands gerir tillögur um minjar sem ástæða þykir til að setja á framkvæmdaáætlun, þ.e. B-hluta. Að loknu því vali felur ráðherra Umhverfisstofnun að meta nauðsynlegar verndarráðstafanir á svæðum sem til greina kemur að setja á framkvæmdaáætlun og kostnað við þær. Í því ferli koma fram ýmsir aðrir hagsmunir sem geta haft áhrif á endanlegt val svæða en eru sem slíkir ekki grunnþættir í vali á svæðum til að viðhalda ákjósanlegri verndarstöðu vistgerða, vistkerfa eða tegunda. Að lokum mun Umhverfis-, orku- og loftslagsráðuneytið í samráði við ráðgjafanefnd leggja fram þingsályktunartillögu um verndun svæða. Tillögurnar eru enn í úrvinnslu hjá Umhverfisstofnun og umhverfis-, orku- og loftslagsráðherra (staða 23. febrúar 2022). Afmörkun svæða í tillögum Náttúrufræðistofnunar er ekki alltaf nákvæmlega skilgreind og getur tekið breytingum við áframhaldandi undirbúning framkvæmdaáætlunar.
