The author notes that a number of global commercial fisheries are facing imminent crisis as the fishing industry extracts fish across the high seas at unsustainable rates. She argues for the need in the coming decades for States as part of their fishery management programs to compromise and propose listing of a number of commercially threatened fish in the CITES Appendices. She focuses on the interpretation of the requirements under CITES Article I, III and IV related to “introduction from the sea” (IFS) as potential drivers for sustainable high seas fisheries.
This Chapter examines the ongoing challenges of using regulation to manage plastic pollution. Specifically, the Chapter identifies the problem of ’thin law’ where laws exist that do not directly address the problem at hand or when they do address the problem at hand are engulfed in exceptions that allow for operations to continue according to the existing status quo. The Chapter highlights several examples of ’thin law’ that are incapable of addressing the scale of plastic pollution. The Chapter proposes the need for ’thick law’ intervention in the form of a regional or global waste tariff on single-use plastics and plastic fishing gear designed to reduce production of new plastics and increase reuse.
