The Lobster War is a classic tale of how a dispute can escalate beyond reason, particularly when the pride of nationalism is put to the test. Originating from a dispute over Spiny Lobster fishing rights, this disagreement highlighted the lack of adequate international agreements on the territorial waters and fishing rights of a nation as the events took place two decades before the signing of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. In the 1960's, French fishing vessels traveled to the Brazilian coast to harvest lobster, igniting an international debate on the legality of this which hinged on the answer to a single question: can a lobster be considered a fish? Brazil argued that because lobster crawl along the ocean floor, they are considered an economic resource apart of their continental shelf. The French, for their part, argued that lobsters "swim" as they hop along the ocean floor, making them essentially a fish that can be caught by any country's vessel. The eventual peaceful resolution of this conflict led to the extension of Brazil's territorial waters to a 200-nautical-mile zone, setting the basis for exclusive economic zones of the same length that would come in the following decades.

But some places might refer to them as lobster trappers. In any case, it was more of a joke question and certainly a biologist would make a distinction even if many types of seafood might be referred to as fish colloquially.

Here in Norway, we have a Supreme Court case about snow crabs, and whether they're a sedentary species or not. Basically if they live in the ocean, or if they live on the ocean floor. It's regarded as one of the most important supreme court cases in modern Norwegian legal history, illustrated by the fact that the hearing was attended by all SC judges, instead of the usual five SC judges in an ordinary SC hearing.

@berg5714 9 ай бұрын

The reason for its importance is because it deals with the Svalbard Treaty, which gives Norway sovereignty over Svalbard with the condition that any other treaty party (country) can conduct activities there on equal terms as Norway. This case decided whether this condition of equal terms also applies to the resources in the continental shelf, including oil and minerals. If the snow crab is a sedentary species, the court would have to give an interpretation of the Svalbard Treaty. If snow crab isn't, then the court could leave the question of who has the rights to the continental shelf ambiguous

The US and other NATO members during the Cold War focused more on integration of their forces and producing complementary equipment whereas France, especially under DeGaulle, focused more on their own military and producing most of their own gear and their nuclear policy was pretty divergent with the rest of NATO. They even essentially left NATO withdrawing from the command structure because they feel France is special and shouldnt be beholden to any of their allies; they want the protection that NATO provides but dont want to have to actually put in the work that NATO demands if they dont want to.

To be fair, the Pig War may be even stupider on account of it being _(allegedly)_ about *a* pig, singular. At least here they were fighting over _multiple_ lobsters. I think.

@emberfist8347 9 ай бұрын

No this is dumber. The Pig War was legitimate border dispute due a poorly worded treaty. This was France openly violating another nation’s sovereignty. And the Pig War didn’t get both nation’s directly involved either.
