-- our colleague Holly Doremus, in Irresponsible fisheries, in which she discusses a new critique by the World Wildlife Fund of (non)compliance with the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s voluntary 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing. Holly's post may be found at Environment & Law, a new blog, just added to our "connections" roll at right, that's written by members of the Berkeley and UCLA faculties. Among the other contributors is our colleague Cymie Payne, about whom we posted a while back.
