Internet Guide to International Fisheries Law

The Internet Guide to International Fisheries Law (IGIFL - www.intfish.net) is a major research reference resource in international fisheries law, first developed by OceanLaw in 1999. It provides access to documentation and information on international fisheries agreements, international and national case law, international fisheries organizations and research materials on international fisheries law (consisting of approximately 85% documentary materials and 15% original text).

The first version of the website consisted of approximately 500 pages, but this has been gradually extended and since 2006 OceanLaw has been working on the most substantial overhaul yet of IGIFL. This will result in the launching, in May 2008, of a new version containing approximately 6000 documents/pages, making IGIFL one of the largest free online collections of international legal information on any subject.

IGIFL is now widely recognized as one of the leading resources in the field and is used extensively by professionals, academics, students, consultants and governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental officials from a wide range of legal, scientific and policy backgrounds (with average monthly statistics of over 10,000 users and approximately 30,000 individual visits).
