Funded Activity Summary

Governing transboundary small-scale fishing in the Asia-Pacific. This project aims to identify the drivers, character and effects of small-boat illegal fishing occurring internationally across maritime boundaries in Asia-Pacific. There is growing concern that this practice represents an acute security threat to countries in the region. This study will reveal the strategic governing responses of state and regional institutions as well as the motivating circumstances that push fishers to trespass. The research will offer vital new insights into the effectiveness of ongoing control measures, and the shaping of a governance regime that pivots on regional politics and cooperation. This knowledge will help inform research and policy frameworks, strengthening Australia’s capacity to secure its maritime domain.
