Correspondence Respecting the Behring Sea Seal Fisheries, 1886-90

By Great Britain Foreign Office

This comprehensive collection, "Correspondence Respecting the Behring Sea Seal Fisheries, 1886-90," offers a detailed look into the diplomatic exchanges surrounding the contentious issue of seal hunting in the Behring Sea during the late 19th century. Compiled by the British Foreign Office, these documents provide invaluable insights into the complex negotiations and legal arguments between Great Britain and the United States concerning the conservation of seal populations and the rights of maritime nations.

The correspondence sheds light on the ecological concerns of the time, the economic interests at stake, and the evolving principles of international law related to maritime resource management. Scholars and researchers will find this a vital primary source for understanding the history of international environmental policy, the dynamics of Anglo-American relations, and the legal framework governing the high seas. This historical record captures a pivotal moment in the development of international cooperation on environmental issues.
