Abstract

Richard Caddell and Erik J. Molenaar (eds.), Strengthening International Fisheries Law in an Era of Changing Oceans (Oxford, Hart Publishing) 2019, ISBN: 9781509923359, hardbound £91.80, xviii + 478 pp. Strengthening International Fisheries Law in an Era of Changing Oceans is an interdisciplinary collection addressing how the international legal framework for the regulation of fisheries can be strengthened to address the challenges presented by changing oceanic conditions and fisheries dynamics. Stemming from a project led by the Netherlands Institute for the Law of the Sea (NILOS) and the Utrecht Centre for Water, Oceans and Sustainability Law (UCWOSL), climate change and its impacts (both present and future) on international fisheries law (IFL) are at the forefront here, as well as key issues of fisheries management in light of scientific uncertainty, and the problems with compliance and enforcement that plague the fisheries sector.
