The Institute played a similar role in stimulating debate on high seas fishing issues that have been addressed in the 1996 Convention on implementation of the fisheries provisions of the UN Convention. The Law of the Sea Institute moved to the University of Miami at the start of 1997. This move affords it the opportunity to build upon the Institute's traditions and develop its focus and activities to meet the challenges of developing ocean policy and law of the sea responsive to the needs of the new century. At this year's meeting in Miami, the Institute will focus on the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Representatives of international institutions and government agencies, joined by legal scholars, will examine the regional and global effects of the entry into force of the Convention and will comment on the role of the law of the sea in the next millennium.
