VI. Illustrative Example of Significant Achievement

Illustrative Example

Global Fisheries

Effective multilateral conservation and management of highly migratory and straddling fish stocks requires the participation and commitment of all major distant water fishing nations and coastal states active in the fishery. Multilateral management regimes that prevent or do not include such broad participation will be unable to promote long-term sustainable conservation and management of such fisheries because any measures adopted will not have the support or buy-in of all those that harvest the resource. Furthermore, those nations that are not party to such arrangements have no binding legal obligation to implement adopted conservation and management measures. With respect to highly migratory fisheries in the Pacific, the Department led a successful 3-year international effort to work with certain Asian distant water fishing nations, within the context of an adopted fisheries management agreement, to create the conditions under which these nations could re-engage in the process and ultimately be in a position to join the management arrangement.

Japan consumes 33 percent of the world's fish catch, but latest figures from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries show that the fishing haul from oceans around the country has fallen 46 percent in ten years. � AP Photo
