Abstract

The purpose of the principal Agreement is to promote effective conservation, rational management and the achievement of optimum yield in the fisheries of mutual interests off the coast of the United States, to facilitate rapid and full development of the United States Fishing Industry and to establish a common understanding of the principles and procedures under which fishing may be conducted by nationals and vessels of the member States of the Community for living resources over which the United States has sovereign rights to explore, exploit, conserve and manage. The Agreement is extended until 31 December 1993. Amendments are made to provisions giving a definition of fish (II), provisions outlining methods of determination of surplus that may be made available to the Community (IV), and provisions concerning the implementation of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 44/225 of December 1989 on large-scale pelagic driftnet fishing and the conservation of pollock resource in the Central Bering Sea are added.
