China’s IUU Fishing Fleet: Pariah of the World’s Oceans
Get PDFThe leading global maritime security threat today is illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Left unchecked, IUU fishing exacerbates the depletion of fish stocks, thereby contributing to global geo-political instability by increasing tension among competing distant water fishing fleets, threatening the sustainability of coastal States’ fisheries, and damaging fragile ecosystems. This article reviews the regulatory framework applicable to IUU fishing. It then discusses China’s predatory fishing practices in various regions of the world. The article then examines the principle of exclusive flag State jurisdiction on the high seas and suggests that Chinese distant water fishing vessels that change their name and disable their satellite tracking systems should be assimilated to be stateless vessels subject to the jurisdiction of all nations. It also suggests that China’s failure to comply with its legal obligations under UNCLOS is an internationally wrongful act for which China bears responsibility. The article concludes with recommendations on measures the international community can take to influence China to better regulate its fleet and effectively combat IUU fishing
The Russian Maritime Arctic: Region of Great Change in the 21st Century
Get PDF(MIWS/02 - Maritime Irregular Warfare Studies, Book 2)
This case study focuses on the evolution and development of the critical maritime region of the Russian Arctic out into the future. It specifically considers what the Russian state may initiate in Arctic economic projects, and what aspects of this region Russia will seek to control, in what will most certainly become one of the vital ocean corridors of the world. The case highlights what factors may constitute the outlines of further development in a region that is not only important today and is emerging as a vital resource area and transport waterway, but also one that could evolve into a zone of competition, or even conflict, during this era of great power rivalry.
The author explores important insights into how Russia may develop its Arctic maritime capabilities and use this region as a springboard to further Russian maritime power, as well as overall economic strength.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/ciwag-case-studies/1018/thumbnail.jp
