Abstract This article discusses whether the regime of the continental shelf includes a right to conserve living natural resources and whether a unilateral establishment of a ban on bottom trawl fishing is possible on the high seas superjacent the extended continental shelf (ECS). Based on Article 77 and Part XII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, coastal States can impose reasonable conservation measures to protect sedentary species from harmful fishing practices. The article also explores how the competing rights of coastal and flag States, as well rights of coastal States with overlapping ECS entitlements, should be balanced in case of the imposition of unilateral conservation measures.

禁止在扩展大陆架上进行底拖网捕捞：爬行管辖权还是行使主权？

摘要 本文讨论大陆架制度是否包括保护生物自然资源的权利，以及在扩展大陆架（ECS）上的公海是否有可能单方面禁止底拖网捕捞。根据《联合国海洋法公约》第 77 条和第 XII 部分，沿海国可以采取合理的保护措施，保护定居物种免受有害捕捞行为的影响。本文还探讨了在实施单边保护措施的情况下，沿海国和船旗国的竞争权利以及具有重叠 ECS 权利的沿海国的权利应如何平衡。
