U.S./Japanese Fishery Relations: Reflections On The Past And The Unsettled Future, Matthew Axel

Although specific reasons for the decline have not been pinpointed, it is clear that inconsistent management practices within the range of striped bass have done little to help the fishery's condition.

Theses and Major Papers

The inadequacy of the $500 per package limitation of liability as protection to shippers is illustrated through the use of case studies by comparing the application of this provision to break-bulk shipments when COGSA was first passed to its application today in the age of containerization. The efforts of the major maritime nations to revise the Hague Rules/COGSA system in the Visby Amendments are examined and compared to …
