Oceanites, Inc. is a US-based, nonprofit, scientific, and educational organization under U.S. law, which was founded in 1987 (https://oceanites.org). Its mission is to advance science-based conservation and to increase the awareness of climate change, its potential impacts, and climate change adaptation through the lens of Antarctic penguins.
This report summarizes activities of Oceanites since CCAMLR-39 and SC-CAMLR-39, including:
• Update on the Antarctic Site Inventory
• Update on the Mapping Application for Penguin Populations and Projected Dynamics (MAPPPD) database
• MAPPPD Related Projects
• State Of Antarctic Penguins Report and Penguin Population Changes
• Update on Climate Change

Abstract:
This paper summarises data collected by Scheme of International Scientific Observation observers and vessels, of incidental interactions between fishing vessels, seabirds and marine mammals during fishing activities undertaken during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The extrapolated total of 44 seabirds caught in 2020 is the lowest on record for CCAMLR fisheries. Three humpback whales were recorded as incidental mortalities in krill fisheries in 2021, the first mortality records for this species.
SOOS has been recognised by the Scientific Committee as having an important role to play in CCAMLR ecosystem monitoring and observation, and spatial management of impacts on ecosystems, climate change, and data delivery and management. Reciprocally, CCAMLR is important to SOOS as an international, scientific body that advocates for and collects observational data in the Southern Ocean.
In recognition of this, this Background Paper provides an update on SOOS data activities that are relevant to the CCAMLR community.
Abstract:
The working groups and skills of the SOOS community can support the design and implementation of ecosystem monitoring systems for CCAMLR areas, existing and proposed Marine Protected Areas (MPA). SOOS has been recognised by the Scientific Committee as having an important role to play in CCAMLR ecosystem monitoring and observation; and spatial observations of impacts on ecosystems, climate change, and data delivery and management.
This Background Paper provides an overview of SOOS’s regional working groups and observing system design capabilities; demonstrating how they can support the design and implementation of ecosystem and climate change monitoring, to complement CCAMLR and SCAR monitoring systems.
Abstract:
Basándonos en un análisis de los aspectos científicos y legales de la actual situación en lo relativo al establecimiento de AMP en el Área de la Convención, examinamos las medidas de procedimiento e implementación para regular un procedimiento unificado que permita a la CCRVMA establecer y gestionar AMP científicamente. Un Plan de Investigación y Seguimiento (PISEG) se considera parte integral de ese procedimiento unificado.
Abstract:
Actualmente, el marco regulatorio de la CCRVMA carece de definiciones claras y transparentes de los diferentes tipos de pesquerías, lo que da lugar a contradicciones relativas a lo que se entiende como definitorio de cada tipo de pesquería.
La Federación de Rusia considera adecuado, en una primera etapa, revisar los aspectos de procedimiento e implementación de la clasificación de las pesquerías antárticas dentro del marco regulatorio, y en una segunda etapa, asignar clasificaciones a las pesquerías existentes (clarificación de la nomenclatura de las pesquerías). Nuestro parecer es que la Comisión debería aprobar los resultados de cada etapa.
