Abstract
This paper examines the nature of the relationship between management, conservation, and cooperation in respect to EEZ fishing. The analysis is demonstrated through a discussion of the developments leading up to the creation of the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA). The paper examines and dismisses the criticism that the Agency does not fully meet the requirements of emerging international law. In addition to laying the foundations of the substantive argument, the conceptual and legal analysis presented here is also seen as a contribution to the wider debate about the scope and substance of the rights and duties of states in respect to EEZ fishing, especially in relation to highly migratory species.Keywords
