Abstract
On
20 April, the SEAFO Convention was opened for signature. The
Convention, which is the product of several years of
negotiations, seeks to ensure the conservation and sustainable
management of the fishery resources of the Southeast Atlantic,
principally through the establishment of a regional management
body: the South-East Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO).
This article reviews and comments on the main provisions of the
Convention.
