- Title
High Seas Fishing: Towards a Sustainable Regime.
- Authors
Bailey, Jennifer
- Abstract
High seas fisheries have become an important focus for concern. The failure to impose order in areas of international jurisdiction threatens the viability of the coastal states' attempts to manage resources within their 200 mile limits. The paper analyses the nature of high seas fisheries in the light of different property regimes. It suggests that the new regime, created in the 1990s largely as a result of the UN Conference on Straddling Stocks and Highly Migratory Species, effectively extends the influence of the coastal state into international waters and expresses reservations that effective management cannot be achieved without due respect for the concept of the commons.
