For decades, #CCAMLR has been presented as one of the most advanced systems of international ocean governance.
Created to conserve Antarctic marine life through a precautionary, ecosystem-based approach, it was meant to act before ecosystem damage occurs.

3/ 🤬 At the #CCAMLR conference in Hobart, #Russia and China blocked all proposals to preserve marine life in Antarctica, underscoring their desire to exploit #Antarctica.
2/ A document revealing the possible reasons for the arrest of Ukrainian scientist Leonid #Pshenychnov mentions that the creation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) proposed by #CCAMLR “will result in #Russia losing the opportunity to develop hydrocarbon resources on the #Antarctic continental shelf”
3/ 😡 The arrest was just before the start of a Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources #CCAMLR meeting where Leonid #Pshenychnov was not only supposed to represent #Ukraine but planned to participate in the discussion about nature conservation issues
For the 7th year, #CCAMLR failed to approve a vast marine protected area in Antarctica, despite clear climate warnings. Still, Flandrensis remains hopeful.

Por 1ra vez la pesquería de kril antártico cerró antes de tiempo en 2025 debido a la acelerada extracción intensiva en la Península Antártica. Es

✅ Spreading out krill fishing across several areas to avoid concentrated fisheries
✅ Safeguarding whales, penguins and seals that depend on krill

Su vida depende del kril antártico. 🦐 Pero la pesca de kril está alcanzando niveles récord, poniendo en riesgo todo este ecosistema. Este octubre los líderes de la CCAMLR pueden proteger la Península Antártica.

New #AWI study shows how sustainable management of #krill in the Southern Ocean can work. The concept for managing krill stocks involves close cooperation with fisheries. #Antarctica #CCAMLR

Finally checking in on this account after a 3 month hiatus. I’m back in Hobart for the annual #fsa (fish stock assessment) working group meetings at #CCAMLR! Excited to attend and present a paper on my upcoming voyage, and to meet such wonderful people. Here are some of the amazing women of FSA!
Terrifying! Maybe something for #CCAMLR to deal with. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) will have its annual meeting in October.

Are subsidies helping or harming sustainability in the #SouthernOcean?
This study finds most krill & toothfish fleets don't rely heavily on subsidies—though China & Norway provide the most support. Many operators cut costs by using foreign ports instead. #CCAMLR

Happy anniversary to the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which was signed on April 7th, 1980. I was so fortunate to be able to study this unique international agreement for my dissertation and miss it every day! #CCAMLR #Antarctica
