“…23 In accordance to Article 66 of the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention, the states in whose rivers these stocks originate shall have the "primary interest in and responsibility for such stocks," a provision that extends to the management of salmon in the high seas with only minor restrictions relating to the cooperation with other states concerned.…”

“…One could argue that cooperative management of Pacific salmon harvests should have been an easy case. During the UN Third Conference on the Law of the Sea, Canada and the United States joined forces to push for adoption of Article 66 of the UNCLOS, which effectively banned directed high seas fishing for salmon (United Nations ; Burke ). This largely eliminated Russian and Japanese interceptions of North American salmon and left Canada and the United States free to jointly manage their salmon stocks as “transboundary” fishery resources.…”

Marine biological resources are likely to come under increasing stress over the course of the 21st century as global climate change and ocean acidification interact with other stresses, including heavy fishing pressures and marine pollution, to create far reaching and difficult‐to‐predict changes in species abundance, spatial distribution, and trophic interactions. The governance systems in place for marine fisheries and for the marine environment, more broadly, will be critical in determining the extent to which these resources can be managed for sustainability. The paper focuses on the governance of internationally shared fisheries, and draws on a body of game‐theoretic research to discuss present‐day governance problems and to evaluate the implications of global environmental change for future efforts to maintain cooperative and effective governance of shared fishery resources. In particular, the increased likelihood of abrupt and unpredictable changes in the productive potential and migratory behavior of exploited fish stocks may threaten to disrupt cooperative management arrangements. The paper discusses the value of contingency planning based on anticipation of the possibility of such events and concludes with a discussion of future directions for both research and policy development.

“…In many respects, Canada and the US are well situated to achieve cooperative management of these fisheries. During the UN Third Conference on the Law of the Sea, Canada and the US cooperated in insisting that the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Article 66 be adopted, which effectively banned directed high-seas fishing for salmon (Burke 1991;United Nations 1982). This largely eliminated Russian and Japanese interceptions of North American salmon and left Canada and the US free to jointly manage their salmon stocks as "transboundary" fishery resources.…”

Climate regime shifts occur at irregular intervals and have profound and persistent impacts on ocean temperature and circulation patterns and on the dynamics of marine fish populations. Despite a growing scientific literature and some attention to the implications of such regime shifts for domestic fisheries, the issue has received little attention in the context of international fishery management. This paper presents evidence for the significance of climatic regime shifts, and draws upon the recent history of conflict between Canada and the United States over Pacific salmon management to illustrate the dangers that unpredicted, unanticipated environmental regime shifts pose for efforts to maintain international cooperation. This suggests a need for greater attention to this issue. Fishery agreements can be made more resilient to the impacts of such environmental changes by explicitly building in flexibility-for example, by allowing the use of side payments. In addition, pre-agreements on procedures to be followed in the event of sustained changes in fish stock productivity or migration patterns, and cooperation on developing common scientific understandings, can help to prevent destructive conflicts. Finally, the literature employing game theoretic shared-fishery models could be further developed to focus on providing practical guidance for maintaining cooperation in the presence of unpredictable and persistent environmental changes.
