The Eu As An Arctic Power: Analysis Of The Competence Of The Eu In The Arctic By Policy Areas, Armand De Mestral
The Eu As An Arctic Power: Analysis Of The Competence Of The Eu In The Arctic By Policy Areas, Armand De Mestral
Dalhousie Law Journal
The European Union is not generally perceived as an Arctic power However, the ever-expanding list of EU competences implies that it will have both an interest in participating in the governance of the Arctic and the authority to do so, should the seven Arctic states agree to make room. This development holds both challenges and opportunities for Canada and other Arctic states. The challenges stem from the factthat the EU will seek topromote the economic interests ofits Member States in resource extraction and freedom of navigation where Canada and Russia, in particular, have asserted strong national policies. The opportunities lie …

A Principled Approach To Property Rights In Canadian Aquaculture, Phillip Saunders, Richard Finn
A Principled Approach To Property Rights In Canadian Aquaculture, Phillip Saunders, Richard Finn
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
The 1995 Federal Aquaculture Development Strategy summarized some of the difficulties facing aquaculture development in a federal state such as Canada, where the jurisdictional entitlements relevant to this “new” (or at least newly significant) industry are by no means clear:
Aquaculture is a formidable policy challenge. As a new industry, it straddles the line between fishing and farming, cuts across significant regional differences and is placed in a context involving the participation of municipal, provincial/territorial and federal governments.

International Royalty And Continental Shelf Limits: Emerging Issues For The Canadian Offshore, Aldo Chircop, Bruce Marchand
Dalhousie Law Journal
Article 82 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982, provides a novel obligation in international law that is likely to become operative within the decade. It establishes an international royalty on production from the utilization of non-living resources (such as oil and gas) on the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, but within the outer limit of a coastal state's jurisdiction. Producing states will have an obligation to make payments or contributions in kind that are calculated on the basis of an incremental rate applicable as from the sixth year of production and reaching a …
Australian And Canadian Perspectives On Offshore Management, Donald R. Rothwell, David Vanderzwaag
Australian And Canadian Perspectives On Offshore Management, Donald R. Rothwell, David Vanderzwaag
Dalhousie Law Journal
Challenges in ocean and coastal management are facing all coastal states of the world. including Australia and Canada. Overharvesting of fish stocks, increasing pressure from land-based sources of pollution, expanding offshore petroleum developments, and rising risks of ship-sourced pollution in fragile marine ecosystems have caused both countries to begin a process of reassessment and rethinking. In January 1997 Canada adopted a new Oceans Act, which called for the development of a National Oceans Management Strategy based on principles of sustainable development, precaution and integration, and a new national marine protected areas network. In December 1998, Australia released a National Oceans …

Australia And Canada In Regional Fisheries Organizations: Implementing The United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, Rosemary Rayfuse, Marcus Haward, Gregory Rose, Sali Bache
Dalhousie Law Journal
In the late 1980s and early 1990s a number of factors and events coalesced to encourage the international community to re-examine high seas fisheries issues. The need to enhance the effectiveness of regional fisheries organizations led to the development of the 1995 United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, dealing with straddling and highly migratory stocks. Both Canada and Australia played a significant role in the development of this agreement While having much in common, each state had different interests and concerns Canada's attention was focused on the problem of straddling stocks, while Australia 's interests have been primarily, though not exclusively, …
The Pacific Salmon War: The Defence Of Necessity Revisited, Michael Keiver
The Pacific Salmon War: The Defence Of Necessity Revisited, Michael Keiver
Dalhousie Law Journal
In 1994, frustration with the Pacific salmon dispute between Canada and the United States, caused the Canadian government to impose a transit fee on American fishing vessels. The author reviews the legality of the measure vis-avis three legal regimes: the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea, the defence of countermeasures, and the defence of necessity. In addition, the effectiveness of retaliatory measures are examined in viewof recent developments. The author concludes by recommending a two-track strategy: an alliance with NativeAmerican groups as well as environmentalnon-governmentalorganizations.

Dalhousie Law Journal
As guest editors we are privileged to have the opportunity to create this special edition of the Dalhousie Law Journal. It is special for a number of reasons. First, the contributions reflect a specific decision on our part to explore the nature and meaning of events being experienced in Atlantic Canada's fishery from a variety of perspectives, of which law, traditionally privileged in law journals for its explanation of events, is perhaps the least important. Secondly the authors, many of whom are people who would not ordinarily write for legal publications, were given express carte blanche to contribute "think pieces" …

Canada's Arctic Jurisdiction In International Law, Donat Pharand
Dalhousie Law Journal
The purpose of this study is to make a brief overview of Canada's jurisdiction in the arctic regions, jurisdiction which has developed since the transfer of the Arctic Islands to Canada by Great Britain in 1880. The study will concentrate on Canada's jurisdiction over the water areas of the Arctic, but will also cover the status of the other areas involved. More specifically, the areas to be covered are: 1) the islands; 2) the continental shelf; 3) the waters in general; 4) the Northwest Passage; and 5) the airspace.
