Behring Sea Decision Sets Close Season and Pelagic Ban
The Behring Sea arbitration tribunal issued its decision August 15 confirming a close season from May 1 to July 21 in Behring Sea and North Pacific waters. A 60 mile protected zone around Seal islands bans pelagic sealing except after August 1 outside the zone. Firearms are prohibited to prevent slaughter. Despite five article 6 points against the United States, American arbitrators express satisfaction, deeming the terms better than prior British offers and signaling the practical end of pelagic sealing. Paris, London, and Washington reactions vary, with some expectations of compensation to Canadian sealers and mixed views on the decision's impact. Also noted are riot arrests in Bombay totaling about 1,500 with higher-than-expected deaths among hospital patients.
