Distant-water fishing, that is, fishing in areas far removed from a country's domestic waters, existed well before the 19th century industrialization with, for example, Europeans fishing for Atlantic cod... off Newfoundland... Increasing competition between domestic and foreign fishing vessels for national fisheries resources was one of the motivations behind the series of international negotiations in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea...

  • Titles of Laws and Regulations

OBS

In 1964, Congress passed the Bartlett Act(Pub. L. No 88-308, 78 Stat. 194) which excluded foreign vessels from fishing within the United States’ territorial sea, defined as all ocean waters within three miles from the coast. Two years later, Congress passed the Contiguous Fisheries Zone Act(Pub. L. No. 89-658, 80 Stat. 908), which created a nine-mile contiguous zone extending out from the three-mile limit, from which foreign fishing vessels would be excluded. These acts and treaties failed to protect U. S. fisheries as they were intended to. The Bartlett Act provided no authority for federal management measures, limiting the federal government's role to data collection and law enforcement against foreign fishers. Other nations also found their fisheries to be suffering, as most treaties provided no means of enforcement against nations who had not chosen to enter into an agreement. As a result, several countries moved to extend the area of their marine jurisdiction. By 1975, of the parties involved in ongoing law-of-the-sea negotiations, sixty nations including the United States, favored a twelve-mile territorial sea and a two-hundred-mile resource conservation zone.
