Recommendation Responsible body Activities to date Status
3.1.1.1 An explicit recovery plan should be established for stocks that are depleted relative to the requirements of Article II. This should include recovery targets and time frames, management actions, and a program to monitor, assess and regularly report on progress. SC

3.1.1.2 The experience with new or exploratory finfish fisheries should be reviewed. This should examine the adequacy of the information available when the fishery is recognised and initial catch limits are established, the monitoring requirements for each stage in development, assessment methods for each stage in development, and expected management measures for each stage in development. Changes should be made to the procedures related to new or exploratory fisheries to address any weaknesses that are found by this Review. SC/

Scientific Committee: In progress – review and development of methods for data-poor exploratory fisheries, WG-SAM-12/ WG-FSA-12
3.1.1.3 The categories of fisheries in CCAMLR (e.g. lapsed fisheries, new or exploratory fisheries, established fisheries) should be more fully defined and consistently applied. This includes the criteria, the information and monitoring requirements, and the elements of the policy, the default management regime that applies to each category, and the triggers by which a fishery would be considered to have moved from one category to another. Elements of the current management requirements for new or exploratory fisheries should be considered for application to established fisheries, and in particular, gear and the use of general and default limits on by-catch. These categories and requirements should be applied to all fisheries, including the krill fishery and by-catch stocks in an established fishery that are being developed to become new target species.

3.1.2 Trends in the status of marine living resources under the purview of CCAMLR

Recommendation Responsible body Activities to date Status
3.1.2.1 In order to increase the control of IUU fishing, CCAMLR should (i) introduce mechanisms to ensure that all CPs comply with the provisions of all CCAMLR CMs (ii) use all avenues, consistent with international law, to ensure that NCPs also comply with such measures, and (iii) consider developing further mechanisms for enhanced surveillance and enforcement. SCIC Spain has submitted reports in respect of CM 10-08:
2009(CCAMLR-XXVIII, paragraph 7.3 and
(2010)CCAMLR-XXIX/BG/37 );
Secretariat letters to NCPs since 2008 (see Chapter 5)

3.1.2.2 Design and agree a strategy for krill fishery development (e.g. timing, spatial scale and location, catch limits) and fishery monitoring that explicitly (i) ensures that adequate information is available to support orderly development of the fishery while addressing Article II, and (ii) allows separation of the effects of fishing from climate change and natural variability. Further, and in an integrated manner, the monitoring of key dependent predators should be explicitly designed to (i) aid separation of the effects of fishing from climate change and natural variability, and (ii) explicitly link to the ongoing management decisions for krill fishery development. Consideration should be given to the use of indicators of predator status in the strategy for krill fishery development. SC

Scientific Committee in progress  – development of feedback management scheme for krill fisheries and agreed timetable (SC-CAMLR-XXX, paragraphs 3.33 to 3.35 and Annex 4, paragraph 2.157)
3.1.2.3 Options should be examined to develop and implement a more comprehensive and consistent monitoring program for harvested marine living resources under the purview of CCAMLR. This should aim to allow for the effective monitoring of the status of the resources, and the status should be centrally compiled and available for CCAMLR decision-making. It may be differentially targeted on species/areas of perceived highest risk, but it should endeavour to provide wide ecosystem coverage and relate to management actions that CCAMLR could take. The monitoring program should consider the need to differentiate the effects of fishing from the effects of other human activities and from natural variability (see also recommendation 6 under Criterion 3.1.3).

3.1.3 Status of species that belong to the same ecosystems as, or are associated with or dependent upon, targeted Antarctic marine living resources

3.1.3.2 Indirect effects of fishing due to food-web

Recommendation Responsible body Activities to date Status
3.1.3.2.1 Options should be examined to develop and implement a more comprehensive and consistent monitoring program for non-retained by-catch species (i.e. fish, elasmobranchs and invertebrates that are directly or indirectly affected by fishing but that are not commercially retained). This should aim to allow for the effective monitoring of the status of these species or groups, and the status should be centrally compiled and available for CCAMLR decision-making. Monitoring may be differentially targeted on species/areas of perceived highest risk, but it should endeavour to provide wide ecosystem coverage and relate to management actions that CCAMLR could take. The monitoring program should consider the need to differentiate the effects of fishing from the effects of other human activities and from natural variability. Consideration should be given to mechanisms that can ensure an ongoing monitoring program to meet CCAMLR’s requirements, including mechanisms that reduce the reliance and focus on funding and interests of individual Members. As appropriate, this monitoring program should be collaborative with other elements of the ATS and with the activities of those States that have national jurisdiction within parts of the Convention Area.

3.1.3.2.5 CPs should use all legal avenues available to reduce and ideally eliminate the incidental mortality of seabirds, especially albatrosses and giant petrels in the Convention Area and in other areas where seabirds from the Convention Area occur. Further reduction, and ideally elimination, of IUU fishing in the Convention Area, and relevant areas outside the Convention Area, will make a significant contribution to this.

Commission – In progress
3.1.3.2.6 Further examine, develop and agree methods to link monitoring information from dependent species to fishery management decision procedures, especially the procedures for determining the location and size of the krill catch. Ensure that these procedures have a high probability of satisfying the requirements of Article II. SC/ Commission (2008)SC-CAMLR-XXVII, paragraphs 10.2 and 10.10;

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)
3.1.3.2.7 Review, and as necessary revise, CEMP to ensure that it can support the application of these procedures and other management decision-making processes in order to achieve the objectives of Article II. Consider approaches to fishery development and monitoring that will allow separation of the effects of fishing and natural variability, or at least that have a demonstrably high probability of achieving the objectives of Article II in spite of not being able to separate these two effects.
