Abstract

One of the effects of climate change is that fish stocks may have to move to colder waters. This not only constitutes an important environmental change, it may also have serious economic consequences, and may even prompt changes to States’ fishery and trade policies. This is what happened with the mackerel and herring stocks in the North Sea, which led to a trade war between the European Union and the Faroe Islands. The aim of this article is to analyse this dispute, the measures taken by the countries involved, and its recent resolution
