COMMISSION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF
ANTARCTIC MARINE LIVING RESOURCES (CCAMLR)
CCAMLR is an intergovernmental marine
conservation and management organisation.
It was established by international
convention in 1982, with the objective of
conserving Antarctic marine life. It consists
of 24 member nations plus the European
Union. A further 11 countries have acceded
to the Convention.
Utilising the best available science, the
Commission agrees a set of conservation
measures by consensus among Members.
These include the determination of catch
limits by species, geographical area and the
type of gear used. CCAMLR also develops
and implements strategies to combat illegal,
unreported and unregulated fishing in the
Convention Area.
The CCAMLR Secretariat provides technical,
administrative, scientific and logistical
support to the Commission and Scientific
Committee. It facilitates communication and
collaboration among stakeholders through
effective dissemination of information,
education, outreach and capacity building.
Each October, representatives of the 25
Members gather in Hobart for the annual
meetings of CCAMLR. Discussions are
interpreted, in real time, in each of the four
official languages of the Commission;
English, French, Russian and Spanish.
