Abstract

Through the last two issues of SAMUDRA Report, we have witnessed an interesting debate regarding the allocation of fish rights. First, Derek Johnson reflected on the Sharing the Fish Conference 2006, held in Australia, pointing out the traditional dominance of the rich ‘temperate minority’ countries over the Southern developing countries in matters of presentations, discussions and solutions (see SAMUDRA Report No. 43, March 2006, pg. 11). Later, Ichiro Nomura, Assistant Director General in the Fisheries Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), came up with a reply, claiming that rights-based fisheries are the solution but admitting that ‘one size does not fit all’, ending with the suggestion for a conference where focus should be on the challenge of allocating fishing rights in developing countries (see SAMUDRA Report No. 44, July 2006, pg. 25).
