Fisheries Administration and Lagislation

Unit 10 - International law of the sea

10.3. Prohibition of Driftnet Fishing
In November 1989, the Convention for the Prohibition of Fishing with Long Drift Nets in the South Pacific was opened for signature at Wellington, New Zealand (Wellington Convention 1989) can also be touched upon. Since the Convention is only concerned with South Pacific, it may not be of much relevance to India; however, it can be briefly touched upon as it is concerned with the problem of fisheries administration.
