Chapter 2: Delivering CCAMLR’s Conservation Objective/General Context

Recommendation Responsible body Activities to date Status

Recommendation 1: A strategic approach be taken by the Commission to achieving its objective throughout the whole of the Convention Area as well as at regional scales by developing and implementing proactive practical steps for spatial management, fishery management and structured ecosystem monitoring and management.

(paragraphs 16 to 23)

Commission

(2019) The Commission has endorsed the work of the Scientific Committee to develop an integrated krill fishery management strategy which integrates spatial information from the fishery, from krill research and from ecosystem research and monitoring (CCAMLR-38, paragraph 5.17)

Over the period 2019–2022 the Commission has endorsed the work of the Scientific Committee to develop an integrated krill fishery management strategy which explicitly accounts for spatial heterogeneity in ecosystem effects of fishing by integrating krill and ecosystem research and monitoring (CCAMLR-38, paragraph 5.17; CCAMLR-39, paragraph 5.53; CCAMLR-40, paragraphs 6.10 to 6.12). In (2021) the Commission inter alia reaffirmed its commitment to developing a representative system of MPAs (CCAMLR-40, Annex 7) to explore holding an extraordinary meeting on MPAs (paragraph 7.29). In toothfish fisheries, spatial management has been implemented through research block and regional management area catch limits based on local biomass estimates (CM 41-09, CM 41-10, SC-CAMLR-40, Table 3).

Significant progress

Recommendation 2: The Commission include on its agenda and discuss at regular intervals, for example every 5 years, the extent to which the conservation measures in place, together with their implementation, are delivering the Convention objective, as well as adjustments to the strategic approach articulated under the previous recommendation.

(paragraphs 16 to 23)

Commission

From 1996 the Commission has considered a specific agenda item on implementation of the Convention. In (2019) The Commission raised the profile of this agenda item so it can be considered early in the meeting (CCAMLR-38, paragraph 10.6). In (2019) the Commission endorsed the ATCM "Prague Declaration" (CCAMLR-38, paragraph 10.5) and in (2021) the Commission agreed a Declaration on the Occasion of the Fortieth Meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR-40, Annex 7). There have been two Symposia (2005, 2015) and two Performance Reviews (2008, 2017).
