Lobster boat diplomacy: the Canada-US grey zone

Beverly Cook

Marine Policy, 2005, vol. 29, issue 5, 385-390

Abstract: There remain overlapping claims of jurisdiction by Canada and the US related to the 1984 Gulf of Maine boundary decision. The disputed territory, known as the grey zone, is a rich lobster fishing area and a simmering dispute between Canadian and US lobster fishers finally erupted here in August 2002. Jurisdictional and management issues remain unresolved. Stock conservation and associated socioeconomic impacts are concerns.
