Abstract

The article considers the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation regarding the establishment of the boundaries of maritime areas and the regulation of fishing in them. The treaties concluded by the Russian Federation are analyzed: the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982, the Agreement between the Russian Federation and Japan on mutual relations in the field of fishery off the coasts of both countries of December 7, 1984. Conflicts of existing legal norms concerning the definition of the external border of the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation in the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk and the norms regulating fishing in it have been revealed. It is emphasized that this situation creates serious problems for Russian fishing vessels. The practice of applying international legal norms and norms of the Russian legislation by the authorized state bodies of the Russian Federation is considered, and features of their interpretation are established. The recommendations on the resolution of these legal conflicts have been developed.
