Description: This seminar will introduce participants to the laws and regulations governing fisheries laws internationally and within Canada as well as with in several other countries. This seminar is designed to be both informative and analytical. Participants will have the opportunity to examine and analyze the legislative actions taken by nations around the world as it relates to fisheries management in general. In addition to fisheries management, this seminar will also cover seafood and aquaculture laws and regulations.! 1
2 Course Materials: Many of the required readings for this course are available in publicly accessible electronic databases, or in databases that are available to all UBC students through the library system. Required readings will be discussed in class. Field Trip: The possibility of a field trip will be discussed and organized if students are interested. Evaluation: Evaluation is based primarily upon preparation of a research paper of 7000 words (80% of the final grade). A paper proposal will be due partway through the term. The paper itself will be due at the end of the examination period (No later than 4:00 pm on April 29, 2015). Students may submit their final papers to the Faculty of Law reception desk. Students interested in presenting their research may present their work and obtain feedback (this will need to be organized with the instructor for scheduling). In addition, class participation will account for 20% of the final grade. General participation in class discussion is expected. However, it is understood that many students will be engaged in various moots during the first few weeks of the second semester and hence a portion of the class participation grade could be devoted to preparation for and publishing of blog posts on external fisheries blogs. At the end of the term each student will provide the instructor with a recommendation for his or her class participation grade and a short explanation of why that grade is appropriate. SEMINAR 1: Introduction to Fisheries Law At the beginning of this Seminar the instructor will introduce himself to the participants and give the class a brief introduction to how he got involved in Fisheries Law. Following the instructor s biography, each student will introduce themselves to the class and recount why they are interested in Fisheries Law. After this initial introduction, this Seminar will introduce the class to general issues discussed in fisheries law, including international agreements, fisheries management regimes, and domestic legislation from the US, Canada, the European Union, Australia, Hong Kong and China. This Seminar is designed to provide a brief overview and introduce the topics discussed more in-depth in subsequent classes. Any questions about the topics or course structure will be entertained at this time. Furthermore, this Seminar will discuss the concept of tragedy of the commons, FAO s Ecosystem approach to fisheries, as well as FAO s draft guidelines to Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries.! 2
3 Assignment & Participants shall prepare their short introductions that answer the following questions: o! Why have you chosen to attend this Fisheries Law class? o! What are your expectations of this course? o! Are there any topics not listed on this syllabus that you would like to discuss?

LJ 12 (1998): 271. SEMINAR 2: Fisheries Law International Treaties and Agreements This Seminar will introduce and discuss the international community s progress toward sustainable and efficient fisheries management. This Seminar is designed to prepare the participants to discuss specific efforts made by the international community including the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the UN Fish Stock Agreement (UNFSA) and the UN FAO Committee of Fisheries (COFI). The most important of these is the UNCLOS which lays down a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world s oceans and seas establishing rules governing all uses of the oceans and their resources. It enshrines the notion that all problems of ocean space are closely interrelated and need to be addressed as a whole. Understanding these international agreements is fundamental to understanding fisheries law as a whole. In addition to the UN agreements and treaties, the International Maritime Organization has developed a number of international conventions. These conventions include: Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter (1972); International Convention Relating to Intervention on the High Seas in Cases of Oil Pollution Casualties (1969); International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (1973; modified in 1978); International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation (1990); and Protocol on Preparedness, Response and Cooperation to Pollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious Substances (2000).! 3

The class will begin with a discussion about the required reading that was assigned to be completed prior to class. This Seminar is designed to prepare the participants to discuss specific efforts made by the international community in combating illegal fishing practices. Port State Measures (PSM) are requirements established or interventions undertaken by port states which a foreign fishing vessel must comply with or is subjected to as a condition for use of the ports within the port state. The requirements typically include: prior notification of port entry, use of designated ports, restrictions on port entry and landing/transshipment of fish, restrictions on supplies and services, and documentation requirements and port inspections. Many of these measures have been recently promoted for inclusion into international treaties and agreements. Illegal, Unreported and unregulated Fishing (IUUs) is a deep concern in the fisheries community because of its detrimental effect on fish stocks, marine ecosystems and the! 4
5 livelihood of legitimate fishers. Recognizing the issues related to IUUs is important in the overall understanding of how and why fisheries management tools are implemented globally. Following this Seminar, participants should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of Port State Measures Demonstrate an understanding of IUU issues and policies Judith Swan, Port State Measures to Combat IUU Fishing: International and Regional Developments, 7 Sustainable Dev.

"Deterring IUU fishing through state control over nationals."marine Policy 30.2 (2006): SEMINAR 4 & 5: Introduction to Fisheries Management Regimes Global marine fish resources have suffered from serious overfishing since 1950, and many marine resources are highly threatened. Various management regimes, including but not limited to Catch Shares including individual transferable quotas (ITQs), Territorial Use Rights in Fisheries (TURFs), Open Access, and Limited Entry schemes have been implemented worldwide to regulate fisheries. Special emphasis will be given to ITQs, which are believed to have improved fishery management and restored declining fisheries to sustainability. Despite its partial success, ITQs have socio-economic consequences that led to many criticisms. This Seminar will address these criticisms and analyze ways to overcome some of these socio-economic concerns. Furthermore, this Seminar will cover community based fisheries management schemes and their implementation in several parts of the world. Following this Seminar, participants should be able to: Demonstrate a general understanding of various fisheries management regimes Demonstrate an understanding of community based fisheries management regimes! 5
