| 3.2.1.4 A more coordinated and coherent approach to ecosystem monitoring and research should be developed and adopted. Other recommendations by the RP address separately the monitoring of harvested species, monitoring of species that are dependent, associated or in the same ecosystem as harvested species, better coordination with monitoring and research in regions of State jurisdiction within the Convention Area, and development of management procedures that make use, or take account, of CEMP-like monitoring information. The recommendation here is for these to be viewed, planned and reported coherently to support CCAMLR’s implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries. For example, there may be merit in expanding the role of CEMP beyond the krill-centric ecosystem view, and for development of a single program to be responsible for the monitoring needs of all of CCAMLR’s management including a wider range of invertebrates, fish and wildlife (e.g. Weddell seals). | Commission/ SC |

Scientific Committee in progress - development of feedback management scheme for krill fisheries including monitoring with agreed timetable (SC-CAMLR-XXX, paragraphs 3.33 to 3.35 and Annex 4, paragraph 2.157) |
| 3.2.1.5 Develop mechanisms to address burden-sharing for research and monitoring among Members so as to reduce the current reliance on a small number of Members and consequent risk to CCAMLR’s management approaches if any of these Members reduced their input (this issue is also discussed in Chapter 7). The RP viewed this with particular concern, given the fundamental importance of research and monitoring to the CCAMLR management approach and the difficulties experienced by scientists in securing funding for monitoring. | SC | See also Section 7.2.1.2 (below) (2008)SC-CAMLR-XXVII, paragraphs 10.2 and 10.10; (2008)SC-CAMLR-XXVII (paragraphs 10.2 to 10.10); (2009)SC-CAMLR-XXVIII/07 ; |
