Fisheries Western Australia, in conjunction with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, hosted 'FishRights99', an international Conference with the theme Use of Property Rights in Fisheries Management. The conference was held in Fremantle, Western Australia, in November 1999.

Property rights are a powerful institutional framework for society to manage the exploitation of the natural environment in an orderly manner. The framework may be implicit or explicit, formal or informal, depending on the social circumstances. Such frameworks are being increasingly seen as another mechanism for efficient and effective management of fish resources. The 'FishRights99' Conference was seen as a mechanism and forum to explore the international use of property rights.

In order to ensure that the full range of experiences were explored, an extensive program of eminent speakers was organised. In addition, funding was obtained to bring a range of participants from developing countries to the Conference.

The Conference was an overwhelming success and 343 delegates from over 50 countries contributed an enormous amount of know ledge about a vast range of rights-based fisheries management situations. The breadth of experiences and insights about the use of property rights created a unique opportunity to examine existing beliefs, encourage new ideas, and develop new solutions.

The final resolution of the Conference was that another conference be held in five years to further explore the development and application of rights based management.
