This report is the third deliverable of Task 3.1 within the FarFish project, which focuses on analysing the governance of the EU external fishing fleet, that is industrial vessels over 24m LOA flagged in EU Member States operating most of its time outside EU waters. In the previous deliverable of this task, D3.10, the development of the monitoring and control of the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements (SFPAs) providing fisheries access in other coastal states’ EEZ was analysed. In this deliverable, FarFish analyses fisheries on the high seas, more precisely the fisheries taking place in the Southwest Atlantic high seas and highlights the lack of an adequate regional framework with a set of rules to effectively manage and control the fisheries taking place in this area. The deliverable is a manuscript for a scientific journal. It briefly describes the fisheries in the area, and given the lack of obligations for coastal and port states, it is mainly focused on the obligations of the flag states to manage the fisheries and to cooperate to that end. Finally, it presents a number of reasons that might explain why there is not binding conservation and management measures in place on the Southwest Atlantic high seas fisheries. Chapter 2 contains the paper/manuscript. |
