ABSTRACT

These days, world is having a new dispute over climate change. In Europe, for example, Britain and Iceland are in dispute over the northward migration of the Atlantic mackerel as a result of climate change, and have begun to fish the species uncontrollably [1]. The mackerel issue is only a microcosm of a new type of world dispute in recent decades, and the dispute over marine resources is one of the most obvious manifestations of this kind of resource dispute. If such problems cannot be solved in a timely and effective manner, they are likely to turn into large-scale economic disputes among the countries concerned, and will lead to the uncontrolled exploitation of some marine resources, ultimately damaging the ecological balance and sustainable development. In view of such disputes, this paper explores the causes and solutions of this new type of marine resource disputes by using the research methods of case study and historical research, and proposes feasible solutions from three aspects of environmental protection, legislation and new solutions.
