Definition
- The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is an intergovernmental organisation established by an international convention. The Commission, assisted by its Scientific Committee, is responsible for developing measures necessary for the conservation of marine living resources in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. The negotiation of the Convention was initiated by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties (ATCP's) following reports of scientific studies expressing concern that unregulated fishing of Antarctic species, especially krill, could result in irreversible damage to the populations of other species in the Antarctic marine ecosystem.
