The legal authority for the proposed bird protection measures extends further, making it unnecessary to present the matter to the Parliament concerning the 500-meter offshore protection zone. This was affirmed by Ingilín D. Strøm, the Minister of Environment, in response to a question from Parliament member Árni Skaale regarding the intended protection zone. Skaale inquired whether the proposed regulations concerning navigation near bird habitats were based on the correct legal foundation. He argued that the legal authority primarily seems to pertain to regulations related to the oil industry. Consequently, he expressed concerns that the protections outlined in the regulation may have been established on a legal basis originally intended for different primary objectives. Ingilín D. Strøm countered by stating that she possesses the authority under environmental protection legislation related to marine environments. She emphasized that the Parliament has granted her the power to safeguard bird populations from harmful impacts caused by navigation and disruptive activities in coastal areas.
