Bering Sea arbitration grants US limited pelagic sealing rights
The Bering Sea Tribunal of Arbitration ruled against US claims on most points but upheld US police power over seals in a narrow sense. It bans pelagic sealing within sixty miles of Pribilof Islands and limits hunting to certain months and nations, granting the United States a guarded victory with restricciones that could end pelagic sealing and force a three to four month blackout. The decision limits killing seals outside the sixty mile zone and within months May to July.
