3.6.1 Extent to which CCAMLR has identified fishing capacity levels commensurate with the conservation, including rational use, of Antarctic marine living resources
| Recommendation | Responsible body | Activities to date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6.1.1 CCAMLR should develop and apply methods to identify fishing capacity levels that are commensurate with sustainable harvests from the fisheries in the Convention Area. | Commission |

Under consideration. |
3.6.2 Extent to which CCAMLR has taken actions to prevent or eliminate excess fishing capacity and effort
| Recommendation | Responsible body | Activities to date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
3.6.2.1 CCAMLR should establish a small group of experts to explore and report on the advantages and disadvantages (including cost and feasibility) of approaches and actions to prevent or eliminate excess fishing capacity, and review and adopt appropriate approaches and actions as a matter of urgency.

Commission | See above. | SCIC – not yet considered. |
3.6.3 Extent to which CCAMLR monitors the levels of fishing effort, including taking into account annual notifications for participation by Contracting Parties
| Recommendation | Responsible body | Activities to date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6.3.1 CCAMLR should review the information available to it through current notification and reporting processes for adequacy in determining fishing capacity and effective effort. CCAMLR should consider and select the most appropriate measures for its management of fishing capacity, and introduce the relevant monitoring and reporting arrangements to support ongoing management of fishing capacity. | Commission |
New and exploratory and krill fishery notifications (www.ccamlr.org/en/fishery-notifications/notified) are annually reviewed by the Scientific Committee and its Working Groups (WG-SAM, WG-EMM and WF-FSA). Recommendations and advice in relation to notifications received is provided to the Commission. |
