Abstract
This article will examine the potential serious impact on traditional patterns of fishery management in the United States if the Law of the Sea Treaty is eventually signed. Preemption, a process by which the federal government takes over fishery management within the coastal states' territorial waters, may be facilitated, and in some cases required, if the Treaty is adopted.
