Abstract
The Southwest Atlantic lacks a regional fishery management organization, leaving one of the world’s largest squid fisheries at risk of overfishing during high seas migrations. This article reviews measures available to coastal States as they seek to protect regional ecosystems and their economic interests. The ideal policy response is to conclude a regional fisheries management organization covering squid and other key regional stocks. This body should follow best practices and include the relevant coastal and fishing States. Other options that provide some value for managing regional fishing and its environmental consequences include reviving and expanding catch information sharing, ratifying and implementing key international treaties, and protecting national continental shelf areas.
