This Agreement and related developments are discussed in detail, particularly in terms of the interactions with the Exclusive Economic Zone and the introduction of environmental perspectives that have led to major conceptual changes in the legal approach to fisheries and practical solutions in the field.
- First full treatment of the subject by an experienced international lawyer
- Includes detailed discussion of the 1995 Agreement on Straddling Stocks which happened following the 3rd UN Conference on the Law of the Sea
