This book was released on 2008 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains the report of the Expert Consultation on the Development of a Comprehensive Global Record of Fishing Vessels, which was held at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 25 to 28 February 2008. The Director-General of FAO convened the Expert Consultation to provide guidance to FAO regarding the future development of a comprehensive Global Record (including guidance on the scope of the record, criteria for inclusion in the record, goals of the record, the sources of data and how to obtain accurate, comprehensive and current data, the need for a unique vessel identifier, the special needs of developing countries, and any special considerations), and to identify appropriate next steps, including how technical development should progress. The experts expressed both a sense of urgency about the need for this tool and their belief that market forces could spur compliance prior to any mandatory legal requirement imposed on countries to provide information. The Expert Consultation noted that the Global Record would be an essential tool to ensure the effectiveness of port State measures. Links to other databases were foreseen. The experts raised concerns about how to best convince countries to provide the needed data. In addition to providing information to fisheries enforcement agencies, the Global Record could: improve the traceability of vessels and products regarding illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) detection; enhance transparency of vessel information and operation; strengthen risk assessment for both governments and industry at all levels; and support decision-making on a broad range of topics including fleet capacity, management, safety, pollution, security, statistics and related issues. Further analysis into the viability of the Global Record is likely to occur during the remainder of 2008. In March 2009, proposals regarding its further advancement will be put before the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI). In the event that the COFI endorses the proposals, development and implementation of the Global Record will remain conditional on the availability of the significant funds required to ensure viability of the project. Funds will also be required and employed to assist some countries in the development of their national registries/records.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains the report of the FAO Regional Workshop on Port State Measures to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing, which was held at Cape Town, South Africa, from 28 to 31 January 2008. The objective of the Workshop was to develop national capacity and promote bilateral, sub-regional and/or regional coordination so that countries will be better placed to strengthen and harmonize port State measures and, as a result, implement the relevant International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) tools and the FAO Model Scheme and contribute to the development of a legally-binding instrument on port State measures. The Workshop addressed: background and framework for port State measures; global and regional issues relating to IUU fishing and port State measures, and the 2005 FAO Model Scheme on Port State Measures to Combat IUU Fishing; the 2007 draft Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing and the implementation of regional and national port State measures; adoption and implementation of port State measures by regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) and the implementation of measures in the Southern and East Africa subregion; operational and information requirements for effective port State measures; industry perspectives on port State measures and national responses to questionnaires; and key issues for further action and cooperation in strengthening and harmonizing port State measures. Working groups were formed to enhance the participatory nature of the Workshop and as a means of engendering broader and deeper discussion on concepts and issues relating to port State measures. In one exercise they addressed various aspects of port State measures, and recommended and prioritized areas for regional cooperation in implementing port State measures. They also identified further types of support needed to implement port State measures and in another exercise they considered certain thematic aspects relating to the FAO Model Scheme and the draft Agreement on port State measures. This exercise included legal aspects, information requirements, systems and inspection procedures, the results of inspection and training. Funding and support for the Workshop were provided by the FAO Regular Programme, by the Government of Norway through the Trust Fund for Port State Measures (MTF/GLO/206/MUL) and the FishCode Programme (MTF/GLO/125/MUL [Sweden-SIDA] [SWE/05/IUU Port State Measures/IUU fishing]). Funding was also provided by the UK Department for International Development (DFID).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the previous edition: “A complete overview of the subject which does not intimidate the reader but rather spurns interest and understanding in the subject.” European Energy and Environmental Law Review “...(the book is) scholarly yet accessible and very readable; thoroughly recommended.” Law Institute Journal Description The law of the sea provides for the regulation, management and governance of the ocean spaces that cover over two-thirds of the Earth's surface. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the foundational principles of the law of the sea, a critical overview of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and an analysis of subsequent developments including many bilateral, regional, and global agreements that supplement the Convention. The third edition of this acclaimed text has been thoroughly revised and updated, and now incorporates a dedicated chapter on natural and artificial islands. All of the main areas of the law of the sea are addressed including the foundations and sources of the law, the nature and extent of the maritime zones, the delimitation of overlapping maritime boundaries, the place of archipelagic and other special states in the law of the sea, navigational rights and freedoms, military activities at sea, marine scientific research, and marine resource and conservation issues such as fisheries, marine environmental protection and dispute settlement. The book also takes stock of contemporary oceans governance issues not adequately addressed by the Convention. Overarching challenges facing the law of the sea are considered, including how new maritime security initiatives can be reconciled with traditional navigational rights and freedoms, the need for stronger legal and policy responses to protect the global ocean environment from climate change and ocean acidification, and work on a new agreement for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Download or read book Making the Law of the Sea written by James Harrison and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law of the sea is an important area of international law which must be able to adapt to the changing needs of the international community. Making the Law of the Sea examines how various international organizations have contributed to the development of this law and what kinds of instruments and law-making techniques have been used. Each chapter considers a different international institution - including the International Maritime Organization and the United Nations - and analyses its functions and powers. Important questions are posed about the law-making process, including what actors are involved and what procedures are followed. Potential problems for the development of the law of the sea are considered and solutions are proposed. In particular, James Harrison explores and evaluates the current methods employed by international institutions to coordinate their law-making activities in order to overcome fragmentation of the law-making process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-four experts on marine affairs and the law of the sea, from six continents, examine the emerging challenges for our World Ocean.
