A Pollock-Fishing Agreement for the Central Bering SeaPollock-Fishing Agreement • April 30th, 2003
A multilateral convention to protect the Bering Sea pollock fishery from over-exploitation was agreed in February 1994 by representatives of the two coastal states and four fishing nations. The agreement is significant on at least two levels: as a means of protecting the Bering Sea pollock fishery, which has been consistently over-fished and seriously threatened in recent years, and as a model for future agreements on the multilateral management of high seas fisheries.
