Maritime Law and Governance

Strong, stable and resilient legal and institutional arrangements are an important factor underpinning effective fisheries and environmental management regimes.  MRAG staff and expert associates have a long history in the development and practical implementation of national and international fisheries and environmental law including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the UN Fish Stocks Agreement and various international fisheries and maritime conventions. 

In addition, through over 400 projects in more than 60 countries, MRAG has built up considerable capacity in institutional analysis of fisheries, environmental and other natural resource governance arrangements. 

MRAG's services include providing counsel in the development of national fisheries arrangements, assisting with the practical implementation of international maritime laws and conventions and independent reviews of institutional performance and governance arrangements.
