  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests.

The publication must be acknowledged as States of Jersey and the title specified. Published by the Department of the Environment Printed on FSC approved paper 1 Les Écréhous and Les Dirouilles Ramsar Management Plan Foreword Jersey is blessed with a rich and diverse coastal and marine environment and the Island’s history, heritage and culture is often a story of our relationship with the sea. Good stewardship of our coastal and marine environment is vital for the Island and future generations. Les Écréhous and Les Dirouilles reefs are key locations for marine biodiversity, all kinds of fishing and leisure activity and historical and cultural significance. The Management Plan for Les Écréhous and Les Dirouilles has been prepared by the Ramsar Management Authority, a group consisting of stakeholders and Government. Many people made significant contributions to the development of the plan. If Jersey is going to support the natural environment and be a resource for all the other interests it is vital management is responsible and integrated. It must be balanced. This plan, not only contributes to our obligations under the Ramsar Convention, but also assists in the integrated management of Les Écréhous and

  • Jersey's Last Wilderness Illustrated 7:12:08
    JERSEYʼS LAST WILDERNESS - PROTECTED BY THE RAMSAR CONVENTION, OR NOT? The Convention on Wetlands, signed in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971, is an intergovernmental treaty which provides the framework for national action and international co-operation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. There are presently158 Contracting Parties to the Convention, with 1,822 wetland sites, totalling 168 million hectares. The year 2000 marked a milestone in the Island's environmental history. The States of Jersey gave approval for 32.1 square kilometres of intertidal habitat to be designated a United Nations Ramsar Wetland of International Importance. The area stretches from the seaward edge of the tanker berth at St. Helier Harbour to the tip of Gorey Pier and equals 25% of Jersey's landmass (See map). Three offshore sites have also been designated: Les Écréhous & Les Dirouilles, Les Minquiers, Les Pierres de Lecq (the Paternosters). So What Do We Protect? Jersey's south east coast was once part of the island's prehistoric land-bridge to the Continent, submerged at the end of the last Ice Age. It now comprises some of the most ruggedly beautiful and ecologically important intertidal habitats in Europe. It is a marine wilderness often beyond the familiar sounds of dry land where a constellation of weather-worn reefs are submerged and exposed twice each day by one of the largest tidal ranges in the world. The number of marine species found in such a comparatively small area is remarkable, well beyond Ramsar criteria. The criteria for Ramsar designation are based on an area's value as a unique or representative habitat with an important range or number of plants, animals, wildfowl or fish.

  • The Minquiers and Écréhous in Spatial Context: Contemporary Issues and Cross Perspectives on Border Islands, Reefs and Rocks
    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 10, No. 2, 2015, pp. 163-180 The Minquiers and Écréhous in spatial context: Contemporary issues and cross perspectives on border islands, reefs and rocks Christian Fleury ESO (Espaces et Sociétés) Caen, Université de Caen-Normandie, France [email protected] and Henry Johnson University of Otago, New Zealand [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Minquiers and Écréhous reefs are located in different parts of the Gulf of St Malo between the British island of Jersey and the French mainland. As a part of the Bailiwick of Jersey, they are geographically very close to the international sea border between Jersey and France, and have had a history of disputed sovereignty. Due to their respective geographical locations and histories, the Minquiers and Écréhous are important sites for the field of Island Studies because of their existence as “border islands”. This article offers a study of these reefs in their spatial context of land and sea, discussing contemporary issues, including fishing, environmentalism and tourism, and offering cross perspectives in terms of their political, economic and cultural connections with Jersey and France. They exist in a context of immense spatial change with substantial tidal ebbs and flows, and between mainlands and historically contested maritime terrains. Such a study helps show how the Minquiers and Écréhous occupy an inbetween space (land, sea and nations), which resulted in international agreements in 2000 that confirmed both the maritime boundary separating France and Jersey, and the areas agreed on as common waters for fishing purposes within Jersey’s jurisdiction. In this setting, this paper offers a critical discussion on the nature of “islands inbetween” (including all the Channel Islands), where land and sea are interconnected as a result of nature, politics, historical fishing rights and leisure activities.

The Council employed a series of graduate student curators from 2006-2013 to perform tasks, such as accessioning and auditing. Unfortunately the ASC, which is composed of laymen, and the curator, who is a trained professional, frequently have conflicting ideas about how to run the Museum.
