Fig. 1: Extent of EU fishing access agreements.
Map of the network of fishing access agreements developed by the EU around Africa (A) and in the Pacific Ocean (B). The contested zone of Western Sahara (top-left corner) is hatched. The color of the EEZs shows the year of inception of the agreement, countries in parentheses do not currently have protocols in force (i.e., ‘expired’ status), and striked-through countries saw their agreements denounced (see Table 5 for details). NB: this map does not include other types of access arrangements such as private agreements and joint ventures, but see, e.g., FAO36,37. (C) shows the evolution of the number of agreements over time.
