Summary
The Governments of Canada, Japan, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the United States of America,
DESIRING to take effective measures towards achieving the maximum sustainable productivity of the fur seal resources of the North Pacific Ocean so that the fur seal populations can be brought to and maintained at the levels which will provide the greatest harvest year after year, with due regard to their relation to the productivity of other living marine resources of the area,
RECOGNIZING that in order to determine such measures it is necessary to conduct adequate scientific research on the said resources, and
DESIRING to provide for international cooperation in achieving these objectives,
AGREE as follows:
Article I
The term “pelagic sealing” is hereby defined for the purposes of this Convention as meaning the killing, taking, or hunting in any manner whatsoever of fur seals at sea.
The words “each year”, “annual” and “annually” as used hereinafter refer to Convention year, that is, the year beginning on the date of entry into force of the Convention.
Nothing in this Convention shall be deemed to affect in any way the position of the Parties in regard to the limits of territorial waters or to the jurisdiction over fisheries.
