Abstract

In 1995, negotiations were concluded in New York on the UN Agreement on the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks. Representatives of 139 states had been involved in the process, which resulted from the increasingly crisis-ridden state of many of the world’s fisheries. The Agreement was an attempt to develop a management regime which would halt and, it was hoped (somewhat optimistically); reverse the dual trends of increasing fishing capacity and effort, on the one hand, and decreasing resources, on the other.
