Jersey and Guernsey : Two Distinct Approaches to Cross Border Fishery Management

Christian Fleury

Résumé

The bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey have a terrestrial surface area of 196 km2 and together with their surrounding waters, cover a total surface area of approximately 5 000 km2 within the Normand-Breton gulf, thus protruding into the French coastline. Behind the generic term of "Channels Islands", actually two entities, independent from one another, coexist. The bailiwick of Jersey, apart from the main island, also comprises the uninhabited rocky shelves of the Minquiers and the Ecrehous. On the other hand, the inhabited islands of Alderney, Sark, Herm are associated to Guernsey. With regards to fishing, relationships between France and Guernsey have been marked by a total lack of dialogue since the mid 90s, whereas the French and Jersey people have developed a relationship based on trust. This trust particularly expresses itself through the Joint Advisory Committee of the Bay of Granville which is part of the proceedings set up within the framework of the international treaty signed between France and the United Kingdom in July 2000. The following text will describe its stakes, its strategies and the convergent and divergent views between its different components.
