South China Sea Dispute: The War On Fishing Rights | Insight | Politics

Fishing disputes arising from competing sovereignty claims over various features in the South China sea have stoked tensions between littoral states in the Asian region. It has also posed a serious challenge to maritime security. Fishermen from countries like the Philippines and Vietnam are now facing continuous struggle to defend their rights to fish in one of the world’s richest fishing grounds. This comes after China begins to assert its control over the waterway and all the resources beneath it.

As countries begin to stake territorial claims in the disputed region, competition for resources can only get bigger and more intense. In the contest for resources and influence in the strategic waterway, does China’s ‘Might is Right’ strategy work best for the region?

Where does that leave the fishermen, whose livelihood has taken a huge blow as a result of the aggressive and unregulated fishing activities in the region?
