Strengthening International Fisheries Law in an Era of Changing Oceans by Richard Caddell

Strengthening International Fisheries Law in an Era of Changing Oceans by Richard Caddell

This collection addresses the central question of how the current international framework for the regulation of fisheries may be strengthened in order to meet the challenges posed by changing fisheries and ocean conditions, in particular climate change. International fisheries law has developed significantly since the 1990s, through the adoption and establishment of international instruments and bodies at the global and regional levels. Global fish stocks nevertheless remain in a troubling state, and fisheries management authorities face a wide array of internal and external challenges, including operational constraints, providing effective management advice in the face of scientific uncertainty and non-compliance by States with their international obligations. This book examines these challenges and identifies options and pathways to strengthen international fisheries law. While it has a primarily legal focus, it also features significant contributions from specialists drawn from other disciplines, notably fisheries science, economics, policy and international relations, in order to provide a fuller context to the legal, policy and management issues raised. Rigorous and comprehensive in scope, this will be essential reading for lawyers and non-lawyers interested in international fisheries regulation in the context of profoundly changing ocean conditions.

[I]t is both a useful guide to the state of knowledge and an excellent starting point for further research on the role of international fisheries law both in light of existing but unresolved problems and novel challenges posed by changing oceans-- Valentin Johannes Schatz, University of Hamburg * Ocean Yearbook *
This enriching volume addresses a key literature gap, bringing together internationally renowned scholars to begin charting and tackling several pivotal internal and external challenges facing international fisheries law and its institutions. -- Arron N Honniball * Asian Journal of International Law *
