This article provides a law and policy prospective on Australia’s fisheries interests and enforcement responsibilities projected towards the year 2020. First, the paper sets out two key economic and technological trends, namely, the trend towards fishing in deep waters and further down the water column and the rise of Asian markets as the principal demand centre in the global fisheries economy. Second, it discusses likely trends in the evolution of the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing sector towards 2020 by exploring the increasing criminalisation and militarisation of IUU activity in response to heightened control measures developed by states. Third, it addresses developments in the global regulatory framework, focusing on the high seas, including the role of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) as regulators of high seas fishing, the likely implementation of the inspecting state concept, regulation of fishing for discrete high seas stocks and on fragile seamounts. Fourth, it discusses the changing balance in policy and enforcement relations between states and increasingly assertive environmental and commercial sector non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The final part concludes with the range of technologically sophisticated options that may be in more widespread use by 2020.
