| Summary: | "This paper discusses issues arising from application of ethnic rights in fisheries management, using data from the present debate in Norwegian fisheries management on the establishment of a Saami Fisheries Zone. The Saami is a Fennoskandian ethnic group, and the Saami Parliament - their politically representative institution - have recently proposed a semi-independendent fisheries management system administered by the parliament. Concretely, they demand that part of the Norwegian quota of Norwegian-Atlantic cod is transferred to the Saami Parliament, which then manages the quota. In addition, the Saami Parliament acquires sovereignity over a specified ocean area outside the coast of Nordland, Troms and Finnmark, where the quota can be caught."
