El Uruguay ha desarrollado un Programa de Relevamiento de Desechos Marinosen las áreas costeras próximas a sus instalaciones en el Area del Tratado Antártico y por tanto en el Area de la Convención correspondiente a la Subárea Estadística 48.1,en la B.C.A.A. (Base Científica Antártica Artigas), en Isla Rey Jorge (o Isla 25 deMayo) y en la E.C.A.R.E. (Estación Científica Antártica Teniente de Navío Ruperto Elichiribehety) en la Península Antártica.
La finalidad del programa es la de colaborar con las funciones de la Comisión en el análisis de la efectivización de la conservación, mediante el seguimiento de indicativos que a través de su manifestación como factores que pueden afectar los recursos vivos marinos antárticos, dan pautas de la orientación de las actividades de recolección y conexas hacia la utilización racional de estos recursos, en el cumplimiento de las disposiciones de la Convención y las medidas acordadas en su conformidad.

Abstract:
This report outlines the participation of the SC-CAMLR Chair in the Third Meeting of Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP-III) under the Madrid Protocol. The most important issues of relevance to CCAMLR are:
(a) CCAMLR has been requested to table a report at the next CEP meeting on marine debris, especially in relation to compliance with Protocol Annex IV;
(b) SC-CAMLR should consider the designation of Specially Protected Species in respect of its own needs and in relation to available IUCN criteria;
(c) CCAMLR's consideration of l\-larine Protected Areas should be carried forward and in this context the Guidelines for Implementation of Article 3, Annex V of the Environmental Protocol -Antarctic Specially Protected Areas developed by the CEP may offer a useful point of departure;
(d) The potential for CEMP data to complement that from the COMNAP environmental monitoring programme around Antarctic research stations should be kept under review;
(e) SC-CAMLR's potential involvement in the State of the Antarctic Environment Report should be noted and a paper from SCAR on the matter is anticipated at SC-CAMLR-XIX;
(f) The CCAMLR Secretariat has been requested to provide CEP-IV with a paper outlining the former's experience with data/information management, and
(g) The participation of the SC-CAMLR Chair in the work and meetings of the CEP has been extremely useful and should continue to be supported.
