3.2.1.1 Explicit mechanisms, agreements and reporting
should be developed to provide coherence and compatibility of
research, monitoring and CMs within the Convention Area,
including areas of high seas and areas of national
jurisdiction. |

Scientific Committee In progress – spatial management and area
protection is adequately addressed in the work program for
MPA.
SCIC – In progress – advanced steps. |
|
3.2.1.2 Explicit mechanisms, agreements and reporting
should be developed with relevant nations and organisations to
provide compatibility of management measures, research and
monitoring between the Convention Area and areas outside the
Convention Area that contain species relevant to CCAMLR
achieving the objectives of the Convention. |

Commission – MOU with WCPFC and working with RFMOs close to
CAMLR Convention Area.
Scientific Committee – In progress – Chairs of CEP and CCAMLR
SC participate in the meetings of both groups. |
|
3.2.1.3 An explicit and active process should be
developed to anticipate threats from fishing and environmental
change, and to develop appropriate approaches through
research, monitoring and/or precautionary CMs to address them
before they become manifest. |

3.2.1.4 A more coordinated and coherent approach to
ecosystem monitoring and research should be developed and
adopted. Other recommendations by the RP address separately
the monitoring of harvested species, monitoring of species
that are dependent, associated or in the same ecosystem as
harvested species, better coordination with monitoring and
research in regions of State jurisdiction within the
Convention Area, and development of management procedures that
make use, or take account, of CEMP-like monitoring
information. The recommendation here is for these to be
viewed, planned and reported coherently to support CCAMLR’s
implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries. For
example, there may be merit in expanding the role of CEMP
beyond the krill-centric ecosystem view, and for development
of a single program to be responsible for the monitoring needs
of all of CCAMLR’s management including a wider range of
invertebrates, fish and wildlife (e.g. Weddell seals). |

3.2.1.5 Develop mechanisms to address burden-sharing
for research and monitoring among Members so as to reduce the
current reliance on a small number of Members and consequent
risk to CCAMLR’s management approaches if any of these Members
reduced their input (this issue is also discussed in Chapter
7). The RP viewed this with particular concern, given the
fundamental importance of research and monitoring to the
CCAMLR management approach and the difficulties experienced by
scientists in securing funding for monitoring. |
