An earlier note in this series' gave an account of the normalisation of relations between the United Kingdom and Argentina and the establishment of co-operative arrangements relating to fisheries in 1990. The present note focuses on the establishment of co-operative arrangements for seabed resources in 1995. It also gives a brief account of the extension of maritime jurisdiction around South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in 1993. First, in order to set the co-operative arrangements for seabed resources in context, a brief recapitulation of the cooperative arrangements for fisheries and their operation in practice since 1990 will be given. The map appended to the article illustrates and enlarges on the text.
