In this respect, among the most important outputs of the conference was the convening of an intergovernmental conference under United Nations auspices. The intergovernmental conference was convened with a view to resolving the old conflict between coastal states and distant-water fishing states over straddling and highly migratory fish stocks in the areas adjacent to the 200 nautical-mile EEZs.
This conference adopted the 1995 Agreement on Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks. The agreement introduces a number of innovative measures, particularly in the area of environmental and resource protection obliging states to adopt a precautionary approach to fisheries exploitation and giving expanded powers to port states to enforce proper management of fisheries resources.
