Jurisdiction and Fisheries Management in the Barents Sea (original) (raw)

2014

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the Barents Sea jurisdiction and fisheries management. Norway and Russia have successfully managed the main fish stocks in the area together since 1976, to which the consistently relaxed and positive relations between management authorities in both countries, and between Norwegian enforcement bodies and Russian fishers, bear testimony. In the late 1990s, the tone of these relations dipped. Russians complained about discrimination, and suspected Norway of harbouring a master plan to eject the Russians from the Barents Sea and the Svalbard archipelago. In the 2000s, the constructive atmosphere returned, as Norway and Russia found new compromises in a number of areas, two of which concerned the establishment of fish quotas and steps to combat overfishing in the area.
