The second section on problems relating to jurisdiction and rights over living and non-living resources of ASEAN countries covers: Fishery development in individual ASEAN countries; Problems of ASEAN vis-a-vis fishing resources; Status of development of petroleum and gas in individual ASEAN states, Law and practice relating to the jurisdiction and rights over non-living resources in ocean areas adjacent to ASEAN states; Problems and potential conflict involving off-shore exploration and exploitation of oil and gas.
