Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources manages fishing in the Southern Ocean under a 1982 convention that is unusual for being explicitly ecosystem-based: catch limits for Antarctic krill account for the needs of penguins, seals, and whales that depend on it. CCAMLR sets conservation measures for krill and toothfish, runs a catch documentation scheme against IUU toothfish, and has designated large marine protected areas including the Ross Sea region MPA agreed in 2016.
