Fisheries law enforcement, from investigation to judgement, is an expensive and lengthy process in many jurisdictions. Many countries experience such a significant backlog of pending trials for conventional criminal offences that dealing with fisheries offences is not a priority. This study suggests considering the use of administrative sanctions as a direct response to the problem and examines the administrative systems for dealing with fisheries offences in a diverse range of countries from different legal systems.
