Book (series)The Impact of Article 7(2) of the Fish Stocks Agreement on the Formulation of Conservation and Management Measures for Straddling and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks 1999
Also available in:
No results found.This paper analyzes factors to be taken into account under the 1995 Fish Stocks Agreement in determining compatible conservation and management of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks for the high seas and areas under national jurisdiction. It also suggests considerations which can be taken into account in balancing them. The absence of guidance determining the measures of the Agreement has been one of the factors contributing to disputes between coastal states and states fish ing on the high seas. -
Book (series)The state of world highly migratory, straddling and other high seas fishery resources and associated species 2006
Also available in:
No results found.This document describes highly migratory fish stocks, straddling fish stocks, and stocks of other high seas fishery resources and the fisheries for them, including information on their state of exploitation. Fisheries for highly migratory species are important in all oceans and semi-enclosed seas, except for polar regions. Fisheries for straddling fish stocks are much more localized, primarily occurring in a few regions where continental shelves extend beyond the 200 miles Exclusive Economic Zon e while most fisheries for other high seas fishery resources are deep-water fisheries. Formal assessments are lacking for most of the stocks examined. Nevertheless, the compilation of available assessments and FAO’s analyses indicate that about 30 percent of the stocks of highly migratory tuna and tuna-like species, more than 50 percent of the highly migratory oceanic sharks and nearly two-thirds of the straddling stocks and the stocks of other high seas fishery resources are overexploited or de pleted. The stocks concerned represent only a small fraction of the world fishery resources, but are key indicators of the state of an overwhelming part of the ocean ecosystem which appears to be more overexploited than EEZs. The scarcity of the information available and the short time elapsed since the entering into force of the UN Fish Stock Agreement does not allow for a realistic assessment of the impact it may have had on the state of the various fish stocks being exploited in the high seas . Some key issues on which progress and improvements are needed are addressed, including those regarding fisheries in the high seas for resources other than straddling stocks and highly migratory species.
