International regulation of commercially exploited sharks: Challenging the notion of shark “bycatch” in tuna RFMOs
This article examines the obligations of States under international fisheries law with respect to the conservation and management of oceanic sharks caught incidentally in fisheries under the competence of regional fisheries management organizations with a mandate to manage tuna and tuna-like species (t-RFMOs). It argues that, in certain t-RFMO-managed fisheries, specific commercially exploited shark species should be legally classified as (second…

This article takes the recent debate concerning the risk of criminalization of civil search and rescue activities by the new version of Section 96(4) of the German Residence Act as an opportunity to examine the legal regime concerning civil sea rescue as it results from public international law and German administrative law. The existing legal literature almost exclusively deals with the phenomenon of civil sea rescue from the perspective of publ…
Provisions for nullification of conservation and management measures in RFMO objection procedures
In order to successfully exercise their mandate to adopt binding conservation and management measures (CMMs) for straddling and highly migratory fish stocks, regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) and arrangements (RFMAs) need effective decision-making procedures. The constitutive instruments of a considerable number of such bodies contain objection procedures which allow individual members to unilaterally opt-out of an adopted CMM. …

The CAOFA establishes a precautionary framework for the regulation of fisheries in the high seas of the central Arctic Ocean (CAO), including a temporary moratorium on unregulated commercial fishing. The purpose of this debate article is not to disc…
