International Consequences Of Norway's Decision To Allow The Resumption Of Limited Commercial Whaling, Dylan A. Macleod Apr 1994

International Consequences Of Norway's Decision To Allow The Resumption Of Limited Commercial Whaling, Dylan A. Macleod

Dalhousie Law Journal

In May 1993, Norway announced that it intended to resume limited, controlled commercial whaling. Although the International Whaling Commission (of which Norway is a founding member) voted by an eighteen to six margin to uphold the moratorium on commercial whaling originally established in 1985-86, Norway's decision to resume limited commercial whaling was not illegal. Norway had legally "opted out" of the moratorium by way of the Objections Procedure contained in the International Whaling Convention. Beyond being legal, Norway's decision to resume small-scale harvesting of minke whale stocks was in accordance with the findings of the Scientific Committee of the IWC, …


Fisheries Jurisdiction And The Atlantic Salmon: Fact And Law From A Canadian Point Of View, H. Scott Fairley May 1978

Fisheries Jurisdiction And The Atlantic Salmon: Fact And Law From A Canadian Point Of View, H. Scott Fairley

Dalhousie Law Journal

Fisheries conservation has become an important if also recent concern of maritime nations with significant economic sectors heavily dependent on ocean harvests. Canada is one of these and the Atlantic salmon is certainly conspicuous among a growing number of endangered fisheries. Grossly depleted salmon runs in the Maritime Provinces once supported a burgeoning estuarial and riparine commercial fishery as well as an immensely profitable tourist industry based on sport fishing. In the past the salmon have suffered from domestic problems, chiefly pollution, for which internal remedies in the form of river clean-ups, pollution abatement and artificial inducements such as fish …


The Offshore Mineral Resources Agreement In The Maritime Provinces, Rowland J. Harrison Feb 1978

The Offshore Mineral Resources Agreement In The Maritime Provinces, Rowland J. Harrison

Dalhousie Law Journal

On February 1, 1977, the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premiers of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island signed a "Memorandum of Understanding in Respect of the Administration and Management of Mineral Resources Offshore of the Maritime Provinces".' The Understanding removes a major impediment to potential development of any offshore petroleum resources of the Maritimes, after nearly ten years of federalprovincial negotiations, and more generally represents a quite unique development in Canadian constitutional relations. At the time of its execution, it was described variously as "a mile-stone in federal-regional relations ' 2 and "federalism at its best". …


Lobster Fishery Licensing: Injustice And Muddling Through, Rod Snow Oct 1977

Lobster Fishery Licensing: Injustice And Muddling Through, Rod Snow

Dalhousie Law Journal

Lobster means different things to different people: for some it is the ultimate in gourmet dining; for the lobster fisherman it is the object of his labour and investment and the key to his lifestyle. There are over 20,000 lobster fishermen in Atlantic Canada who land approximately 36 million pounds of lobster at an annual landed value of about $40 million.' Lobster is Atlantic Canada's single most valuable fishery, more valuable than cod or herring. 2 Management of the lobster fishery is entrusted to the Fisheries and Marine Service of Environment Canada. A central aspect of their management programme has …

On Shore Natural Resource Ownership: Atlantic Canada Perspective, J Mcevoy Jun 1956

On Shore Natural Resource Ownership: Atlantic Canada Perspective, J Mcevoy

Dalhousie Law Journal

Disputes over the ownership of resources off both the east and west coasts of Canada have recently been determined by the Supreme Court in favour of collective ownership by all Canadians, through federal Canada, rather than separate collective ownership by the adjacent citizens through their respective provinces.' These offshore disputes have involved state-province constitutional conflict and represent a higher plane application of common law concepts favouring individual ownership.
