International Fisheries and Biodiversity Law: Examining Divergent Regime-Based Narratives in the Anthropocene

This book examines the relationship between international fisheries law and international biodiversity law in the context of the increasingly volatile ocean conditions of the Anthropocene.

Using a theoretical approach, the book analyses interactions between fisheries and biodiversity law. The author assesses the fulfilment of objectives around conservation and sustainable use to allow readers to understand the collective narratives and priorities of international fisheries and biodiversity regimes. The book also features insights into recent international legal developments, including the treaty on marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction, and potential sites of enhanced cooperation between regimes.

This book will be of interest to legal scholars, scientists and practitioners, particularly those in the areas of law of the sea, biodiversity law, environmental law, and international fisheries law.
