Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to critically evaluate the applications and shortcomings of the current regimes for fisheries resources management in a sustainable manner. In this context, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS),1 the 1995 Fish Sticks Agreement (FSA)2 and other international law and policies relating to fisheries management will be analysed. Various obstacles and challenges present in the current fisheries resources management regime that could be identified as posing an obstacle to effective conservation and management due in particular to climate change will be highlighted in the paper. Applications of management principles, vulnerability, adaptive capacity and mitigation measures of the current regimes will be considered in this respect. Exploring the reasons for weaknesses in current arrangements, the chapter will suggest an effective and rational cooperative regime for sustainable fisheries resources management.
