      Agenda

      Expand All Annotations | Expand All Documents | Collapse All

      1     Introduction

      In 2017, the Scientific Committee agreed to hold a Workshop on Spatial Management (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, paragraph 13.23) as part of its five-year work plan. It also noted a number of issues related to specific MPA planning processes that could be discussed further at the workshop.

      The Scientific Committee’s five-year work plan (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI/BG/40) set out science topics under the theme of ‘Spatial management of impacts on the Antarctic ecosystem’, and highlighted two priority topics for the Workshop on Spatial Management:

      1. Spatial planning data management
      2. Implementation of the Ross Sea Region MPA Research and Monitoring Plan

      The workshop terms of reference were developed intersessionally, based on the science topics and priorities in the five-year work plan, and were updated following feedback from Members (SC CIRC 18/18).

      Submitted workshop papers, along with presentations and analyses conducted during the workshop, will form the basis for discussion and advice.

      1.1     Opening of the meeting

      Welcome to participants and overview of facilities, Secretariat’s offices, computer support, internet access and social activities.

      1.2     Adoption of the agenda and organisation of the meeting

      Amendments to, and adoption of, the meeting agenda, assignment of meeting papers to agenda items, appointment of rapporteurs and procedures for the preparation of the report and establishment of ad hoc subgroups if necessary.

      2     Development of general principles for the use of spatial management tools in the CCAMLR area

      The Workshop will consider general principles, in pursuance of the objective and principles of the Convention, to make use of the full range of spatial management tools available to be implemented under CM 91-04 and other mechanisms. Where possible, the workshop will aim to identify common elements and approaches on issues including:

      1. Achievement of the objectives of CM 91-04 across the Convention Area
      2. Criteria and methods to scientifically interpret and measure the achievement of MPA objectives
      3. Scientific background information and methodologies required for spatial management planning processes, including considerations of data availability.
      3     Development of MPA proposals

      The workshop will review technical issues relating to the development of specific MPA proposals, including on available scientific data and methodological approaches. It will aim to provide advice in response to specific questions identified during SC-CAMLR-XXXVI.

      3.1     Planning Domain 1 (western Antarctic Peninsula and southern Scotia Sea)

      The workshop will review progress and updates on the development of a proposal for a system of MPAs in Planning Domain 1, including work progressed by the Domain 1 MPA Expert Group. This will include consideration of issues raised by WG-EMM (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, Annex 6, paragraphs 4.21 to 4.22) and the Scientific Committee (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, paragraphs 5.19 to 5.35).

      Focus topics identified by the D1MPA Expert Group for its work include:

      1. Climate change and reference areas for D1MPA;
      2. Krill fishery management strategies and harmonisation with D1MPA;
      3. Information on fisheries in the D1MPA planning process (e.g. cost layer, krill fishery displacement, toothfish research fishery).
      3.2     Planning Domains 3 and 4 (Weddell Sea)

      The workshop will review progress and updates on the proposed Weddell Sea MPA, including consideration of issues raised by WG-EMM (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, Annex 6, paragraphs 5.9 to 5.19) and the Scientific Committee (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, paragraph 5.8).

      The workshop will also consider the report of the Workshop for the Development of a Dissostichus mawsoni Population Hypothesis for Area 48 (held in Berlin, Germany, 19 to 21 February 2018), focusing on specific outputs relating to the further development of the WSMPA proposal.

      4.2     Development of specific MPA Research and Monitoring Plans

      The workshop will continue the development of the Ross Sea region MPA research and monitoring plan (addressing Scientific Committee comments, SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, paragraph 5.45), and discuss mechanisms for its implementation. It will consider the development of baseline data, criteria and indicators for the RSRMPA (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI/20, paragraphs 21 to 25; and SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, paragraph 5.45) and the development of the RSRMPA project lists (SC-CAMLR-XXXVI/20, paragraphs 10 and 11; and SC-CAMLR-XXXVI, paragraphs 5.44 and 5.45).

      The workshop will also consider updates to the draft South Orkney Islands southern shelf MPA research and monitoring plan, in advance of the review of this MPA in 2019.

      5     Spatial planning data management

      The workshop will develop recommendations for data management in relation to:

      1. Spatial management planning processes
      2. MPA research and monitoring plans.

      This will include consideration of the requirements for data management by the Secretariat (noting ongoing work by the Data Management Group), as well as the potential links with, and use of, existing external data portals and warehouses (e.g. SOOS).

      Specifically in relation to the RSRMPA, this will include a preliminary discussion on how the Scientific Committee should review Member reports on scientific activities in 2021 as specified under CM 91-05 (paragraph 15), and how the Secretariat should compile such reports.

      6.1     Priority research topics to inform future work on spatial management

      The workshop will identify prioritised research topics within the theme of ‘Spatial management of impacts on the Antarctic ecosystem’ to provide to the Scientific Committee for consideration in updating its five-year work plan.

      6.2     Cooperation with other scientific programs

      The workshop will consider the scope and potential mechanisms for future cooperation and collaboration with other scientific programs (e.g. SCAR, SOOS, ICED), in terms of the provision of data relating to the development of spatial management and MPA research and monitoring.

      6.3     Future organisation of spatial management work by the Scientific Committee and its working groups
      7     Other business

      Participants are invited to identify issues for consideration under Other business. Papers submitted under this agenda item should link their content to the workshop terms of reference and identify specific actions sought.

      8     Advice to the Scientific Committee
      9     Adoption of report and close of meeting

      As is usual practice in meetings of the Scientific Committee and its working groups, rapporteurs will draft sections of the report according to general guidelines for its production. The Secretariat is responsible for formatting, editing and circulation of the report. Any proposed changes to the report prior to report adoption should be arranged through the rapporteurs or the Co-conveners using the web-based document management system. Adoption of the report will be conducted interactively.

      Discussion will conclude by midday on Thursday, allowing Thursday afternoon and evening for report preparation and reading. Report adoption will be on Friday morning.
