From the mid-90s until 2003, the [[w:Exclusive Economic Zone|Exclusive Economic Zone]] of [[Tierrador]] on the [[Orixtal Sea]] was the setting of exploitation by [[Burgundie|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, cod, sharks, and groupers were targeted as well.

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#Aquaculture|Sudmoll's law banning "wild" marine capture]] and the creation of the [[Iles_Evangeline#Pisciculture|Joint Office of Evangeline Economic Development and Food Security on Iles Evangeline]].


What happened after the settlement
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.
The 2003 article can be about the end of hostilities and our governments coming to an agreement of me backing off and moving my distant-water fishing fleet elsewhere.
Your government points out that while it's hard to prove, it's likely that my fleet was illegally fishing in your EEZ since 1996, the early 2000s is just when technology caught up and they were able to prove it.
The ocean is vast so even though they had proof in 2001-02 they couldn't catch any fishermen in the act until late 2002.
The initial interactions were fairly harmless with your navy/coast guard escorting my ships to the edge of the EEZ and shouting "and don't come back!"
A few months of this and it's not working so the Navy escalates and starts arresting my fishermen and bringing back the boats to the impound. I pay to release the boats and the sailors are let off with a hefty fine.
Still they persist so you arrest and start blowing up the boats in early 2003. Finally I come to the negotiating table and but the end of the year we come to an amicable agreement that I will fuck off and pay $200million to a financial assistance fund that supports small local fisherman during seasons where they don't catch enough fish to make ends meet.
