(9) 16 U.S.C. §1100b et seq. Cel ene shrimp fishing 
treaty between U.S. and Brazil; regulates shrimp fishing carried 
on in the vicinity of Brazil. 
(10) 16 U.S.C. §1151 et seg., North Pacific Fur Seal 
Commission--regulates taking of fur seals in the North Pacific 
Ocean. 
While there does not appear to be much inconsistency or 
overlapping among the conservation-related laws, a few should 
be mentioned: 
(1) 16 U.S.C. §755 and 16 U.S.C. §1221 et seg., overlap 
to the extent that section 755 makes for the Columbia River 
Basin the specific provision that section 1221 makes generally 
applicable to the Nation's entire estuary system. 
(2) 16 U.S.C. §§757a and b authorize the Secretary of the 
Interior (apparently transferred to Commerce), in cooperation 
with the States, to undertake conservation measures with regard 
to anadromous fisheries, while 16 U.S.C. §1221 et seg., directs 
the Secretary of the Interior, in cooperation with the States, 
to take conservation measures with regard to resources in the 
estuaries of the U.S. Since anadromous fisheries are present in 
some U.S. estuaries, management functions potentially overlap 
between the Secretaries of Commerce and Interior. Congress might 
want to reconcile this by qualifying 16 U.S.C. §1221 et seg. 
to exclude regulation of anadromous fisheries, thus consolidating 
the functions in the Secretary of Commerce. It has already been 
suggested that Congress might want to consider transferring 
Management of the estuaries, to the extent it affects fisheries, 
to the Secretary of Commerce. 
(3) 16 U.S.C. §§757a and b and 16 U.S.C. §1221 et seg., also 
overlap with 16 U.S.C. §777 et seq., which directs the Secretary 
of the Interior, in cooperation with the States, to restore and 
Manage sport fisheries. To the extent that an anadromous fishery 
is also a sport fishery (e.g., salmon), there is overlap that 
should be recognized. 
(4) 16 U.S.C. §1361 et seg., (the Marine Mammal Protection 
Ace) and éy UsSeGs S96 et seg., (the Whaling Convention Act) 
overlap to the extent they both regulate catching whales. 16 
U.S.C. §1383 recognizes potential overlap and provides that
