4. REVIEW OF CCAMLR ACTIVITIES ON MONITORING MARINE DEBRIS IN THE CONVENTION AREA

   Abstract:  CCAMLR Members monitor beached debris, entanglement of marine mammals, marine debris associated with seabird colonies and animals contaminated with hydrocarbons at a number of sites, primarily in Area 48. Overall non-fishing debris items (mostly packaging items) have made up the majority

5. BEACHED MARINE DEBRIS SURVEYS AND INCIDENCES OF SEABIRD/MARINE MAMMAL ENTANGLEMENTS AND HYDROCARBON SOILING AT BIRD ISLAND, SOUTH GEORGIA AND SIGNY ISLAND, SOUTH ORKNEYS, 2008-2009

   Abstract:  Surveys of beached marine debris at Bird Island, South Georgia recorded a total of 142, 96 and 148 items during summer 2007/08 (October 2007 to March 2008), winter 2008 (April to September) and summer 2008/09 (October 2008 to March 2009). Surveys at Signy Island, South Orkneys recorded a

6. INGESTION OF FISHING GEAR AND ENTANGLEMENTS OF SEABIRDS: IMPLICATIONS FOR MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT

   Abstract:  Fisheries are increasingly adopting ecosystem approaches to better manage impacts on non-target species. Although deliberate dumping of plastics at sea is banned, not all fisheries legislation prohibits discarding of gear (hooks and line) in offal, and compliance is often unknown.

7. PROPOSAL TO MOVE THE START DATE OF THE FISHERY FOR DISSOSTICHUS ELEGINOIDES IN SUBAREA 48.3

   Abstract:  For operational reasons it would be more convenient to extend the 48.3 fishing season into April rather than into September. A proposal is developed to experimentally allow incremental extensions into April, accompanied by a bird bycatch limit, starting with an allowance for all vessels

8. INTERACTIONS OF PATAGONIAN TOOTHFISH FISHERIES WITH KILLER AND SPERM WHALES IN CROZET EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE: AN ASSESSMENT OF DEPREDATION LEVELS AND INSIGHTS ON POSSIBLE MITIGATION SOLUTIONS

   Abstract:  Within the Crozet Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the Patagonian toothfish longline fishery is exposed to high levels of depredation by killer and sperm whales. In this context, this study (i) provides estimations of annual depredation levels on a 5-years period (2003-2008), (ii)

10. DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE MITIGATION TO REDUCE SEABIRD MORTALITY IN THE ICEFISH (CHAMPSOCEPHALUS GUNNARI) TRAWL FISHERY IN SUBAREA 48.3

    Abstract:  Seabird mortality levels caused by net entanglement in the icefish trawl fishery in Subarea 48.3 became a concern in the late 1990s. At this time there was little knowledge on how to mitigate such mortality. As an interim measures a vessel specific 20‐bird mortality threshold was
