Commercial Fishing in the High Seas Arctic: The U.S. Needs A Treaty, Not An Executive Agreement, Heritage Foundation Backgrounder #3375, January 15, 2019. "On October 3, 2018, the U.S. signed the Agreement to Prevent Unregulated Commercial Fishing on the High Seas of the Central Arctic Ocean, which applies precautionary conservation and management measures to ensure the sustainable use of fish stocks. While the agreement has a laudable purpose, it is susceptible to being undermined by non-parties, and should have taken the form of a treaty, not an executive agreement. The U.S. should seek to negotiate such a treaty."
