Adam Soliman

Adam Soliman is the director of The Fisheries Law Centre. He is a researcher focused on legal and economic issues in Fisheries. He teaches fisheries law in several countries and advocates for further access to justice in small-scale fisheries. He researches and conducts analysis to issues in fisheries management with special focus on small-scale fisheries. He specializes in fisheries management scheme and property rights particularly in catch shares and other management schemes.^[1]

He started his career in the agribusiness sector, working for a family operation in the Middle East. He holds a BSc and MSc. in Agricultural Economics. He also had Juris Doctorate from the University of Hong Kong and a LLM in Agriculture and Food Law from the University of Arkansas.^[2]

Adam Soliman asserts the importance of including fisheries law in law school curriculums. He describes the access to justice gap in fisheries and coastal communities as three intertwined issues: lack of education; lack of legal research and lack of advocacy.
