From the mid-90s until 2003, the Exclusive Economic Zone of Tierrador on the Orixtal Sea was the setting of exploitation by distant-water fleets of Burgiognesc fishermen and the subsequent defense of said fisherman by the government of Burgundie. The exploitation and conflicts that resulted after were colloquially known as the Salmon Wars, due to the fishermen being heavily focused on Tierradorian salmon, though other marine life, such as octopi (octopodes), cod, shark, and groupers were targeted as well.

Aftermath
Burgo-Tierradoran EEZ Exploitation Settlement had far-reaching consequences for both nations. Tierrador's fishing industry faced significant challenges in recovering from the depletion of fish stocks and the disruption caused by Burgundie's activities. Efforts were subsequently made to implement stricter fishing regulations and enhance surveillance and enforcement within Tierrador's waters. For Burgundie, the conflict highlighted the need for responsible fishing practices and sustainable resource management. The incident served as a catalyst for reforming the nation's fishing policies, leading to increased scrutiny of the distant-water fleet's activities and a shift towards more sustainable fishing methods (e.g. Sudmoll's law banning "wild" marine capture and the creation of the Joint Office of Evangeline Economic Development and Food Security on Iles Evangeline.
The Salmon Wars and the resulting Burgo-Tierradoran EEZ Exploitation Settlement stands as a significant case study highlighting the importance of maritime cooperation, responsible fishing practices, and the protection of coastal states' economic interests. The resolution of the conflict and the subsequent compensation served as a precedent for addressing similar disputes in the international arena. The legacy of the conflict also underscored the need for effective management and regulation of fishing activities within EEZs to ensure the long-term sustainability of marine resources. The incident contributed to ongoing discussions and efforts aimed at strengthening international frameworks and cooperation in managing and conserving global fisheries.
