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.

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]

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

Love the attention to detail, especially that 760,320 gumballs really do add up to 12 miles

It's like on Well There's Your Problem, where they convert the compensation awarded to victims of disasters (and/or surviving family members) to the equivalent number of Xboxes, or Xboxen, beginning with the Hindenburg episode.

@10:53 Ah yes, De Gaulle's "Lobter" speech, inspiring French fishermen to violate Brazilian waters, very iconic

History lessons presented with humour. Can't get any better than that. Love it.

The most underrated channel that doesn't have 1 million subs on the internet

[@JordanLane7]

I’m shocked it isn’t a much bigger channel, definitely the the most underrated

[@EricRedbear]

His inconsistency with posting content is what's hindering him. People have such short attention spans and impatience they unsubscribe if they have to wait very long.

I love the idea of seeing airships in the sky. They just seem so much more graceful.

Captain of lobster trawler: We return with Brazilian lobsters. DeGaul: How many zeros in a brazilian?

I laughed pretty hard at some of these lines. Great work dude thank you

If I had a nicle for every time a war broke out during the cold war because of seafood I'd have two nicles, which isn't alot but it's weird that it happened twice.

the most hilarious thing about this whole kerfuffle is that, if the french had just moved a little ways up the south american coast, then they would've been fishing in their own waters and the whole situation would've been avoided.

[@Chad_Thundercock]

Your word play, alliteration, eccentric flavor, and misdirection skills are top notch. I wish all History could be taught this way.

[@precascer8221]

This asks for more stories about Brazil. Like the varginha alien, or that time when Ford made their own american town in the middle of the fucking rainforest. Or that time where we annihilated some dolphins thinking they were missiles. I'm bingewatching Bluejay's content since I found you, your sense of humor is killing me. Keep going, dude! Cheers from Brazil
