Current Debate Over Potential Use of Trade Measures
By Greg Schneider
ABSTRACT
Various international instruments that could play a positive role in the management of fisheries on the high seas, such
as the UN Fish Stocks Agreement and the FAO Compliance Agreement, have not yet come into force. The reach of Regional
Fisheries Management Organizations does not yet extend seamless across the ocean’s surface. Not all coastal and flag States
play by the rules in support of sustainable fishing practices. To get at bad actors, States and RFMOs and other management
bodies are turning to trade measures. This paper reports on the current use of trade measures as well as on a new initiative under
debate.
