Abstract
Transboundary conservation and pollution issues have been fundamental to the globalising environmental agenda, sparking international concern about conservation of species, protection of living resources and management of pollution. Wildlife protection takes on a transboundary dimension when wildlife either crosses or is transported across state borders and national jurisdictions, and it is international to the extent that concern is shared among countries or that collective action is deemed necessary in the management and protection of endangered wildlife. Conservation of living resources — marine living resources in the case explored here — is both transboundary and international in that neither fish stocks nor the sources of depletion confine themselves to any one national jurisdiction, thus requiring international cooperation if those stocks are to be managed sustainably. Pollution becomes transboundary through the dispersal of pollutants from one state to another through air or ocean currents, or through pollution displacement, that is the deliberate transportation of pollutants from one country to another, or to areas beyond national jurisdiction.
