    REGIONALISM VERSUS NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY: THE PROMISE AND PROBLEMS OF A CARICOM FISHERIES AGREEMENT Tricia Lovell The United Nations-Nippon Foundation Fellowship Programme 2007 - 2008 DIVISION FOR OCEAN AFFAIRS AND THE LAW OF THE SEA OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, THE UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK, 2008 DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of Antigua & Barbuda, the United Nations, the Nippon Foundation of Japan, or the University of Massachusetts - Boston. © 2008 Tricia Lovell. All rights reserved. i ABSTRACT The Caribbean Sea is the second largest sea in the world and is characterised by its complex biogeography and diversity of marine life. Thirty-three States and territories border the region, including the fifteen members and five associate members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The CARICOM States have had a long and tumultuous history of economic integration, culminating with the formation of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) in 2006. In February 2003, the CARICOM Heads of Government accepted and endorsed a proposal by one of its member States to create a Common Fisheries Policy and Regime (CFPR) for the CARICOM region. This regime would essentially extend the rights and freedoms enjoyed under the CSME to the fisheries economic sectors of member States. In so doing, it would create a regional arrangement that would include the creation of a Common Fisheries Zone (CFZ), encompassing the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of member States beyond the 12-mile territorial sea. Within the CFZ, the Community members would be allowed equal access to surplus stocks deemed able to sustain harvest.
