The public Hafsjá GeoServer exposes current fisheries restrictions and areas.

API

WFS: https://gis.is/geoserver/fiskistofa/wfs

The primary layer is virkar_skyndilokanir (active rapid closures). Other virk_*/virkar_* layers include active regulations, spawning areas and fishing-area restrictions.

Usage

uv run python scripts/fiskistofa.py list
uv run python scripts/fiskistofa.py fetch

Caveats

  1. These WFS layers are current state, not an event history; snapshot them to preserve closure history.
  2. Fiskistofa's REST Gagnaveita covers catches, quotas and vessels but requires paid OAuth access and restricts redistribution. It is deliberately excluded.
  3. Date fields carry Z but may be dates rather than instants.
