Climate-Driven Fish Migration Demands New Rules for Sharing Shared Stocks

Climate-driven shifts in fish distribution are not a future scenario; they are a present legal fault line. The old bargain, allocation based on historical catch records and stable stock ranges, is cracking under accelerating ecological change. The existing framework, anchored in UNCLOS and the UNFSA, holds the normative tools, cooperation, precaution, and equity, to respond. The challenge is institutional, not legal. Consensus-based rigidity within RFMOs is the binding constraint. A Climate-Adaptive Fisheries Allocation Framework offers a pragmatic, legally grounded path forward.
