Abstract

At the recent Global Conference on Small-scale Fisheries, titled “Securing Sustainability in Small-scale Fisheries” (4SSF), organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Department of Fisheries, Thailand, and held in Bangkok in October 2008, an important talking point was the issue of transborder fishing by small-scale fishermen. For many participants at the plenary session group discussion reporting on the topic, it was revealing to learn that transborder fishing by smallscale fishermen is so widespread and complex a phenomenon that neither can it be ignored or just lumped together with the broader category of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, nor seen as merely an issue of enforcement of fisheries or maritime zones’ legislation.
