Zusammenfassung
While the Pacific Salmon Treaty was reauthorized in 1999
(1999 Agreement), management of Pacific salmon under the
Treaty has remained contentious and many salmon populations
have continued to decrease in abundance. Moreover, the longterm
fishing arrangements originally established under the 1999
Agreement are nearing expiration.10 As such, this Note seeks to
inform future negotiations on Pacific salmon management
through an analysis of past failures and successes, and the identification
of possible solutions to foreseeable challenges.
Part I summarizes the historical developments in Pacific
salmon management and international agreements leading up to
the 1985 Treaty. Part II identifies many of the threats to Pacific
salmon. Part III analyzes the circumstances surrounding the
1985 Treaty’s signing, as well as its collapse. Part IV discusses the
reauthorization of the 1999 Agreement. Finally, part V highlights
the current challenges facing Pacific salmon management
and outlines possible solutions to the ongoing disputes over
salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
