Abstract

Fishery conflicts that occur between states are increasingly becoming a concern for policy makers, as incidences of international fishery conflict as well as suspected environmental drivers of conflict (climate change and resource scarcity) are ramping up. Avoiding fishery conflicts that occur between states is not only vital to ensure national security, but also important to safeguard future human security due to the vital role fisheries play in providing employment and nutrition. Despite the debilitating impacts of fishery conflicts, there is still limited knowledge on the occurrence and nature of international fishery conflicts. This chapter explores the knowns and unknowns of international conflicts over fish, suggests directions for future research, and discusses fishery conflict in the wider context of maritime security.
