“…These provisions are expanded upon and strengthened in UNFSA. Changing transboundary distributions and migrations of fish between EEZs or EEZs and the high seas may bring governance challenges beyond assessment-related issues (Pinsky et al 2018;Rayfuse 2018). Failure to agree on allocation of straddling fish stocks is a major reason why lasting agreements on management can be difficult to reach, as seen with pelagic species in the North-east Atlantic in recent years (Bjørndal & Ekerhovd 2014;Toumasatos & Steinshamn 2018).…”

“…There are, however, rules in UNCLOS and UNFSA delineating the principles for allocation of resources in such situations (Henriksen & Hoel 2011). Rayfuse (2018) points out that stocks that migrate into high seas areas may have less conservation value for coastal states, and stocks shifting distribution across maritime zones may, therefore, in the absence of agreements on management, face increased fishing pressure.…”

Multidisciplinary perspectives on living marine resources in the Arctic

et al. 2022

Many areas in the Arctic are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We observe large-scale effects on physical, biological, economic and social parameters, including ice cover, species distributions, economic activity and regional governance frameworks. Arctic living marine resources are affected in various ways. A holistic understanding of these effects requires a multidisciplinary enterprise. We synthesize relevant research, from oceanography and ecology, via economics, to political science and international law. We find that multidisciplinary research can enhance our understanding and promote new questions and issues relating to impacts and outcomes of climate change in the Arctic. Such issues include recent insights on changing spawning migrations of the North-east Arctic cod stock that necessitates revisions of socioeconomic estimates of ecosystem wealth in the Barents Sea, better integrated prediction systems that require increased cooperation between experts on climate prediction and ecosystem modelling, and institutional complexities of Arctic governance that require enhanced coordination.

“…This CAOF agreement has been represented as the first preventive, international agreement of such magnitude (Harvey, 2018;Rayfuse, 2018;NOAA Fisheries, 2018). Currently there is no fishing activity actively occurring in the CAO, but exploratory fisheries have been conducted in that area in the past (Harvey, 2018).…”
