Climate Change and Fish Wars
- "Fisheries, in particular, are no stranger to climate-related conflicts. For instance, a mackerel war emerged in 2007 between the EU, Norway, and Faroe Islands, when mackerel moved into Icelands’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). A similar “war” erupted between the United States and Canada in the 1980s and 1990 when salmon left the US for its norther neighbour during warmer than average periods. As climate change intensifies, such interstate tensions will undoubtedly become more frequent." - Excerpt from Stockholm Resilience Center.
