The RFMOs analysed are the six largest non-tuna RFMOs, the: ‚Äö Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, ‚Äö South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation, ‚Äö General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, ‚Äö Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization, ‚Äö North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission, and ‚Äö South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation. Each of these RFMOs enshrines science as the key input into fisheries management. However the thesis shows that there are variations between them regarding the consistency with which they followed the advice of their scientific advisors. These variations have enabled a comparison of both the legal frameworks and the decision making records of each body. The thesis ... |
