Marine pollution

2.5.1 Effectiveness of CCAMLR to implement measures to provide for protection of the Southern Ocean and Antarctic environment from the impacts of vessels engaged in harvesting, research, conservation and associated activities, including measures relating to marine pollution and vessel safety

Recommendation Responsible body Activities to date Status
2.5.1.1 The RP encouraged data on discarded and lost fishing gear to be collected and reported on more routinely. SCIC/
Commission
In 2009, the Scientific Committee agreed to adopt reporting on lost fishing gear as part of the C2 data forms;
(2009)SC-CAMLR-XXVIII, paragraph 7.12;
(2009)SC-CAMLR-XXVIII, Annex 7, paragraph 13.11 to 13.14;
(2010)SC-CAMLR-XXIX, paragraph 6.6;
(2011)SC-CAMLR-XXX, paragraph 3.169;
(2011)SC-CAMLR-XXX, Annex 7, paragraphs 4.35 and 4.36;
(2011)SC-CAMLR-XXX, Annex 8, paragraph 7.6;
(2011)WG-FSA-11/48 ;

2.5.1.2 Allied to this there was the need for CCAMLR to consider providing to the fishing industry details of the prevention of marine pollution provisions of Annex IV to the Environmental Protocol. Commission Secretariat links to the ATCM decisions through website.

(2009)CCAMLR-XXVIII/32 ;
(2010)CCAMLR-XXIX/BG/22 .

Commission – Complete
2.5.1.3 The RP identified opportunities whereby the linkages between the ATCM and CCAMLR might be strengthened. These included:
  1. The forthcoming Joint SC-CAMLR–CEP Workshop1 planned for 2009. This will provide an ideal opportunity to examine ways of engaging in practical cooperation in areas of overlapping interests and competencies.
  2. At CEP XI in 2008 the CCAMLR Observer gave a presentation on the work of CCAMLR. This was regarded as highly valuable. A reciprocal CEP presentation to SC-CAMLR was encouraged, with a view to institutionalising reciprocal presentations at periodic intervals. Such presentations would contribute towards a clearer understanding of the respective objectives and work programs between ATCM and CCAMLR representatives.
