In March of 1995, two nations, not usually known for their belligerent activities, faced off in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. In these waters, a Canadian flagged vessel fired on a Spanish ship some 225 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.

Rather, it was a slimy fish known as the Greenland halibut, or turbot, which is used primarily to make frozen fish sticks.' This note will examine the dispute as a template through which the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) can be assessed. Since UNCLOS has no enforcement regime for the high seas3 fishing rights it affirms and the new reciprocal duties it enunciates, the Canadian-Spanish fishing dispute of March 1995 can be viewed as a natural result of this inadequacy in UNCLOS. Consequently, the dispute between these two usually peaceful nations should serve as a clarion call for ratification of the new Fish Stock Treaty. 4 The note will begin by discussing the general framework which UNCLOS provides for high seas and straddling stock fisheries.' Part of this discussion will trace the historical roots of the exclusive economic zones (EEZ's) established by the convention. It will then recall the critical state of the economy in the Canadian maritime provinces and argue that the depressed economy there, coupled with the shortcomings of UNCLOS, created a situation that was ripe for the eruption of the Canadian-Spanish dispute.
