    Port control of fishing vessels (3) carrying alive marine resources of Antarctica


    SpeciesAll
    AreasAll
    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    1. Contracting Parties shall control all fishing vessels entering their ports with a cargo of Dissostichus spp. (4) The control will determine that, if the vessel conducted fishing operations in the Convention area, they were in compliance with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, and if the vessel intends to disembark or transship a Dissostichus spp. capture, the vessel is well accompanied by the Dissostichus capture certificate required by the 10-05 conservation measure, and that it is reported to be appropriate.
    2. Contracting Parties shall control at least 50% of fishing vessels entering their ports and carrying species other than Dissostichus spp. that have been captured in the Convention area and that have not previously been disembarked or transshipped in a port. The objective of the control will be to determine whether the fishing operations carried out in the Convention area were consistent with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR.
    3. By determining which vessels carrying species other than Dissostichus spp. shall be controlled in accordance with paragraph 2, Contracting Parties shall take into account:
    (i) the possibility that a vessel has already been denied the entry or use of a port under this conservation measure or any other measure;
    (ii) requests from other Contracting Parties wishing a particular ship to be controlled; and
    (iii) whether or not there are clear reasons to suspect the vessel to have engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (INN fishing) (5), or in INN fishing activities (6), as well as information from regional fisheries management organizations.
    4. To facilitate the controls referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, Contracting Parties require vessels wishing to enter their ports to provide the information requested in the table model in Annex 10-03/A and to declare in writing that they have neither conducted nor supported any INN fishing activity in the Convention area and have complied with the relevant provisions of CCAMLR. The Contracting Party shall require vessels wishing to enter its ports to provide the information requested in Annex 10-03/A at least 48 hours in advance to enable the examination of the required information. Contracting Parties may designate ports in which fishing vessels may request entry. The list of all these ports, and any subsequent amendments, will be communicated to the secretariat at least 30 days before taking effect. The secretariat will post information on designated ports on the CCAMLR website.
    5. The controls will be carried out in accordance with international law within 48 hours of entry to port and as soon as possible. The control shall not impose undue hardship on the vessel or crew and shall be based on the relevant provisions of the CCAMLR control system. The collection of information during a port control will be based on the table model provided in Appendix 10-03/B.
    6. In accordance with the provisions of conservation measures 10-06 and 10-07, except for the purpose of control, enforcement or emergency, Contracting Parties shall take all necessary measures, subject to and under their applicable legislation and regulations and in accordance with international law, to refuse access to the port to vessels that are not authorized to fly the flag of that Party as they:
    (i) are registered on a list of INN vessels adopted by CCAMLR under conservation measure 10-06 or 10-07;
    (ii) said they had taken part in the INN fishing; or
    (iii) will not have forwarded a statement or notice, as required under paragraph 4.
    Contracting Parties shall control all the above-mentioned fishing vessels that have been granted access to the port for the purposes of control, enforcement or emergency measures or that have entered the port without authorization.
    7. Where evidence is gathered that the vessel has fished in contravention of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, in particular where the fishing vessel is on a list of INN vessels adopted by CCAMLR under conservation measures 10-06 or 10-07, the Contracting Party prohibits the vessel from disembarking or transbordering the capture or takes other measures of monitoring, control, monitoring or enforcement of any lesser international law. The Contracting Party shall inform the flag State of the vessel of the findings of the control and shall cooperate with it to conduct an investigation of the alleged offence and, if necessary, to apply the sanctions provided for in its national legislation.
    8. Contracting Parties shall submit to the secretariat a report of the results of each control conducted under this conservation measure within 30 days of port control or as soon as possible when compliance issues have been raised (7). The secretariat shall promptly transmit the report to the flag State of the controlled vessel.
    9. All Port Control Reports will be presented on the form provided in Annex 10-03/A and, if determined that fishing activities have been conducted in the Convention area, the Port Control Report will also include the form provided in Annex 10-03/B. The secretariat shall promptly transmit to all Contracting Parties and any non-contracting Party participating in the Dissostichus spp capture documentation system. (SDC) pursuant to Annex 10-05/C of Conservation Measure 10-05, reports on vessels to which access to or authorization to land or transborder Dissostichus spp. or any other species caught in the Convention area would have been refused.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. (2) Except for waters adjacent to the Prince Edward Islands. (3) For the purposes of this conservation measure, "fishing vessel" means any vessel, regardless of size, used and equipped, or is intended to be used to conduct fishing operations or fishing-related activities, including support vessels, plant vessels, trans-shipment vessels and vessels equipped to carry fish-derived products, with the exception of marine container vessels and vessels equipped to carry fish-derived products. For only vessels equipped for the transport of fish products, Contracting Parties are required to conduct a preliminary assessment of the relevant documentation. If this assessment raises concerns about compliance with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, it will be necessary to conduct control under the provisions of this conservation measure. (4) Except for by-catch of Dissostichus spp. by trawlers conducting fishing operations outside the Convention area. By incidental capture, capture is defined as not exceeding 5% of the total capture of all species and not exceeding 50 tonnes per vessel for the duration of a vessel's fishing exit. (5) For the purposes of this conservation measure, the activities referred to in paragraph 5 of the 10-06 conservation measure and paragraph 9 of the 10-07 conservation measure are defined as "INN fishing". (6) For the purposes of this conservation measure, "fishing-related activities" means any support or preparation operation for fishing activities, including the landing, packaging, processing, trans-shipment or transport of fish that have not previously been disembarked in a port, as well as the provision of personnel and the supply of fuel, equipment and other provisions at sea. (7) Contracting Parties may decide not to submit to the secretariat the inspection reports of their vessels if they determine that all fishing activity took place in waters under their jurisdiction.

    The Commission,
    Recognizing that in order to promote the objectives of the Convention and to strengthen compliance with relevant conservation measures,
    Convinced that illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (INN fishing) endangers the objective of the Convention,
    Recalling that Contracting Parties are required to cooperate by taking the necessary measures to counteract all fishing activities that do not align themselves with the objective of the Convention,
    Wishing the rights and obligations of flag and port states to promote the effectiveness of conservation measures,
    Desirous of strengthening conservation measures already adopted by the Commission,
    Recognizing the obligations and responsibilities of Contracting Parties under the Dissostichus spp. Capture Documentation System (SDC),
    Recalling the steps taken in article XXIV of the Convention,
    Firmly committed to taking measures consistent with international law to identify the origin of Dissostichus spp. entering the markets of the Contracting Parties and to determine whether Dissostichus spp. fished in the area of the Convention and imported into their territories was captured in accordance with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR,
    Adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:
    1. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that its licensed fishing vessels (1) in accordance with conservation measure 10-02 are equipped with a satellite vessel monitoring device that permanently declares their position in the Convention area for the duration of the licence issued by the flag State. The vessel monitoring system will automatically communicate, at least every four hours, to a Fisheries Monitoring Centre (CFA)CSP) of the flag State of the ship, the following data:
    (i) identification of the fishing vessel;
    (ii) the current location (latitude and longitude) of the vessel; the position error to be less than 500 m for a confidence interval of 99%; and
    (iii) the date and time (expressed in UTC) of reading the said position of the vessel.
    2. Each Contracting Party, in its capacity as a flag State, must ensure that the monitoring devices of vessels placed on board its ships are free from fraudulent manipulations, that is, they are of a model and configuration that prevent the entry or exit of false positions, and that they cannot be altered in manual, electronic or other control. To this end, the satellite monitoring system shall:
    (i) be placed in a sealed receptacle; and
    (ii) be protected by official seals (or mechanisms) of a type indicating whether the receptacle has been opened or the altered device.
    3. In the event that a Contracting Party has information giving rise to suspicion that the monitoring devices for vessels placed on board do not meet the requirements of paragraph 2, or have been altered, it shall immediately notify the secretariat and the flag State of the vessel.
    4. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that its CSP receive records and messages from the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and be equipped with computer hardware and software for automatic data processing and transmission. It must provide backup and recovery procedures in the event of system failure.
    5. The masters and licensees/licensors of vessels subject to a VMS shall ensure that the vessel monitoring system on board their vessels operating in the Convention area is operational at any time, as indicated in paragraph 1, and that the data is transmitted to the flag State. Captains and shipowners/licensors must ensure that:
    (i) VMS records and messages are not altered in any way;
    (ii) nothing hinders antennas connected to the satellite monitoring system;
    (iii) the power supply of the satellite monitoring device is not interrupted in any way; and
    (iv) the vessel monitoring device is not removed from the vessel.
    6. A ship monitoring system shall be in operation in the Convention area. It may, however, be disconnected when the fishing vessel is at the port for a period of more than one week, subject to a prior notification to the flag State and, if so desired, also to the secretariat, and to the extent that the first position statement generated when the device is turned on indicates that the fishing vessel has not changed position relative to the last survey.
    7. In the event of a technical failure or failure of the vessel's monitoring device on board the fishing vessel, the master or shipowner, or their representative, shall communicate to the flag State every six hours, and also to the secretariat if the flag State so wishes, from the time at which the breakdown or failure was detected or notified in accordance with paragraph 11, the current geographic position of the vessel by electronic means (e.g., facsimile).
    8. Ships with a defective vessel monitoring system shall immediately undertake the necessary steps to repair or replace the device as soon as possible and, in any case, within two months. If the vessel is returned to the port within the time frame, it will not be allowed to commence a new fishing campaign in the Convention area until the vessel has repaired or replaced the defective instrument.
    9. If, for 12 hours, the flag State does not receive any transmissions of the data referred to in paragraphs 1 and 7, or if it has reason to doubt the veracity of the transmission of the above-mentioned data, it shall notify the master or owner or his representative as soon as possible. If this occurs more than twice for a period of one year in respect of a particular vessel, the flag State of the vessel must examine the matter and one of its authorized officers must verify the device in question in order to determine whether the equipment has been handled for fraudulent purposes. The results of the investigation must be communicated to the CCAMLR Secretariat within 30 days of the completion of the investigation.
    10.(2,3). Each Contracting Party shall, as soon as possible, communicate to the CCAMLR secretariat the VMS records and messages received under paragraph 1:
    (i) and no later than four hours after their receipt, for palangre exploration fisheries to which conservation measures adopted at CCAMLR-XXIII apply; or
    (ii) and not later than 10 days after the departure of the Convention area for all other fisheries.
    11. With respect to paragraphs 7 and 10 (i), each Contracting Party shall communicate, as soon as possible, and no later than two working days after the detection or notification of a technical incident or a failure of the ship monitoring system on board, the geographic position of the ship to the secretariat, or ensure that such records and positions have been communicated to the secretariat by the master or shipowner, or their representative.
    12. Each flag State shall ensure that VMS records and messages transmitted by the Contracting Party or its fishing vessels to the CCAMLR Secretariat are in a computer-readable format in the data exchange format described in Annex 10-04/A.
    13. In addition, each flag State shall notify the CCAMLR secretariat separately by e-mail or other means, within 24 hours, of the entry, exit and movement between the sub-zones and the divisions of the Convention area of each of its fishing vessels, in the format set out in Annex 10-04/A. When a vessel intends to enter a closed area, or an area for which it does not have a fishing permit, the flag State will forward to the secretariat a notice of the intentions of the vessel. The flag State may permit or order the vessel to transmit such notices directly to the secretariat.
    14. Without prejudice to its flag State responsibilities, if so desired by the Contracting Party, it shall ensure that each of its ships communicates the readings referred to in paragraphs 10 and 13 in parallel to the CCAMLR secretariat.
    15. Each flag State shall notify the CCAMLR secretariat, without delay, of any possible change in the name, address, email, telephone and facsimile numbers, as well as the electronic address of the authorities responsible for its CSP.
    16. In the event that the transmission to the CCAMLR secretariat of the data referred to in paragraph 10 (i) would be interrupted for 48 hours in a row, the secretariat would promptly notify the flag State of the vessel and request an explanation. If the Contracting Party does not transmit the data in question, or the explanation of the flag State, within five working days thereafter, the CCAMLR secretariat shall inform the Commission as soon as possible.
    17. If VMS data received by the secretariat indicate that a vessel is present in an area or sub-zone that is not mentioned in the information regarding the licences provided by the flag State to the secretariat in accordance with conservation measure 10-02, or in an area or sub-zone for which the flag State or fishing vessel has not provided notice in accordance with paragraph 13, the secretariat shall notify the flag State and require an explanation. The latter will be forwarded to the secretariat for consideration by the Commission at its next annual meeting.
    18. The CCAMLR Secretariat and all Parties that receive data deal with all VMS messages and statements received under paragraph 10 or paragraphs 19, 20, 21 or 22 in a confidential manner that aligns with the confidentiality rules established by the Commission and cited in Appendix 10-04/B. The data of each vessel will only be used for regulatory and search and rescue verification, including:
    (i) planning an active presence for monitoring and/or control needs by a Contracting Party in a particular sub-zone or division of CCAMLR;
    (ii) an active presence for monitoring and/or control needs by a Contracting Party in a particular sub-zone or division of CCAMLR;
    (iii) verification of the content of a Dissostichus Capture Certificate (CCD); or
    (iv) support for search and rescue activities undertaken by a competent Marine Rescue Coordination Centre (MCC) in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding or Agreement between the CCAMLR Secretariat and the relevant CCSM (4).
    19. The CCAMLR secretariat places a list of vessels submitting VMS records and messages in accordance with this conservation measure on a secure section of the CCAMLR website. This list will be divided into sub-zones and divisions, without indicating the exact position of the ships; it will be updated when a ship changes sub-zone or division. The list will be posted daily by the secretariat, making it an electronic archive.
    20. The secretariat shall transmit VMS data to a requesting Contracting Party other than the flag State without the authorization of that State for the purposes of paragraph 18 (i). The data shall be communicated by the Secretariat only for the planning of monitoring and/or control when the requesting Contracting Party has designated controllers, and has already conducted active monitoring and/or control activities, in accordance with the CCAMLR control system. Contracting Parties requesting data shall provide information on Area (5) of the planned active and/or control activity. In this case, the secretariat shall transmit the updated VMS data corresponding to the geographic area identified at a specified time within 48 hours prior to the commencement of each monitoring and/or control activity. In the event that the planned monitoring and/or control activities are not undertaken, the Contracting Party will inform the secretariat of this, destroy the data, and confirm the destruction of the data to the secretariat in writing without delay. The secretariat shall inform the flag State(s) that VMS data has been transmitted to the Contracting Party and that it has received confirmation of their destruction.
    21. The secretariat shall not communicate the VMS records and messages (including the vessel's position), for the purposes of paragraph 18 (ii) above, to a requesting Contracting Party other than the flag State without the authorization of the flag State only during active monitoring, and/or control, in accordance with the CCAMLR control system and within the time limits set out in paragraph 10. In this case, the secretariat shall provide VMS records and messages, including the vessel's position for the last 10 days, for vessels that have actually been detected during the active monitoring and/or control carried out by a Contracting Party, and VMS records and messages (including vessel position) for all vessels within 100 nautical miles of that site. The secretariat regularly communicates the last position of vessels to the Contracting Party for the duration of active monitoring and/or control under the CCAMLR Monitoring System. The State or flag States concerned shall receive from the Party that conducts active surveillance and/or control a statement containing the name of the vessel or aircraft carrying out active monitoring and/or control under the CCAMLR Control System, as well as the name of the CCAMLR controller(s) and their identification number. Contracting Parties performing active monitoring and/or control shall make such information available to the State or flag States without undue delay after the completion of monitoring and/or control activities.
    22. A Contracting Party may request the secretariat to verify a vessel's VMS data relative to the information contained on a CCD in order to verify that information. A Contracting Party may also request the secretariat to provide the VMS (including vessel) statements and messages to the Secretariat when verifying the information contained on a CCD; in that case, the secretariat will only provide the data with the authorization of the flag State.
    23. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs 1 and 4, Contracting Parties may request VMS data from their own vessels to the secretariat.
    24. The CCAMLR Secretariat shall report to the Commission, each year before 30 September, on the application and compliance of this conservation measure.

    1. Ships licensed under French national legislation and vessels licensed under South African national legislation are included. 2. This subsection does not apply to vessels licensed under French national legislation for the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands EEZs. 3. This subsection does not apply to vessels licensed under South African national legislation for the Prince Edward Island EEZ. 4. The draft Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding will be submitted to the Commission for approval. 5. The area of planned monitoring and/or control activity will be identified by CCAMLR sub-zone, division or SSRU, depending on the smallest geographic scale applicable to this area.

    Annex 10-04/B
    PROVISIONS ON THE SUSTAIN AND CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT OF TRANSMISSIONS AND ELECTRONIC MESSAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONSERVATION MEASURES 10-04


    1. Area of application.
    1.1. The following provisions apply to all VMS records and messages transmitted and received in accordance with Conservation Measure 10-04.
    2. General provisions.
    2.1. The CCAMLR secretariat and the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties transmitting and receiving VMS records and messages shall take all necessary measures to comply with the security and confidentiality provisions set out in sections 3 and 4.
    2.2. The CCAMLR secretariat shall inform all Contracting Parties of the measures it has taken to comply with these security and confidentiality provisions.
    2.3. The CCAMLR secretariat takes all necessary steps to ensure that the provisions relating to the deletion of VMS records and messages it processes are respected.
    2.4. Each Contracting Party shall guarantee to the CCAMLR secretariat the right, if necessary, to correct or delete VMS records and messages that would not have been processed in accordance with the provisions of conservation measure 10-04.
    3. Confidentiality provisions.
    3.1. All data requests should be addressed in writing to the CCAMLR secretariat. Requests for data shall be made by the main contact of the Commission or by another person appointed by the main contact to the Commission of the Contracting Party concerned. The secretariat communicates data only by a secure e-mail address specified at the time of the data request.
    3.2. VMS records and messages are only communicated and used for the purposes specified in paragraph 18. These VMS statements and messages contain the following information: the name of the vessel, the date and time of the position statement and the latitude and longitude of the position at the time of the survey.
    3.3. When the flag State decides not to authorize the communication of VMS records and messages in accordance with paragraph 22, it shall, in each case, provide a written report within 10 working days to the Commission, in which it shall briefly describe the reasons for its refusal. The CCAMLR Secretariat then displays any such report, or a notice that no records were received, on the CCAMLR site, in a password-protected section.
    3.4. For the purpose of implementing paragraphs 20 and 21, each Contracting Party shall make such data available only to the controllers designated under the CCAMLR control system.
    3.5. VMS records and messages are transmitted to its controllers not earlier than 48 hours before entering the CCAMLR sub-zone or division when the monitoring is to be carried out by the Contracting Party. Contracting Parties shall ensure that VMS records and messages are treated confidentially by all such monitors.
    3.6. The CCAMLR secretariat deletes all VMS records and messages referred to in section 1 of the CCAMLR secretariat database before the end of the first calendar month following the third year since the transmission of these VMS records and messages. Subsequently, information relating to the movement of fishing vessels is no longer retained by the CCAMLR secretariat until action is taken to ensure that the identity of vessels is no longer established.
    3.7. Contracting Parties may retain and archive VMS records and messages provided by the secretariat for the purposes of an active monitoring and/or control presence, up to 24 hours after the vessels to which they relate have left the CCAMLR subzone or division. It is considered that the departure takes place six hours after the transmission of the intention to exit the sub-zone or division of the CCAMLR.
    4. Security.
    4.1. Overview.
    4.1.1. The Contracting Parties and the CCAMLR secretariat shall ensure that VMS records and messages are treated safely in their respective electronic data processing systems, in particular where such processing requires data transmission on a network. Contracting Parties and the CCAMLR secretariat shall implement technical and organizational measures that adequately protect records and messages from accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, dissemination or unauthorized access, as well as against any inappropriate treatment.
    4.1.2. The following security issues must be addressed at the outset:


    - control of access to the system: the system must be resistant in the event of an attempt to erase from unauthorized persons;
    - authenticity and control of access to data: the system must be able to limit the access of authorized parties to a predefined data set;
    - communication security: it is necessary to ensure that VMS records and messages are communicated safely;
    - data security: it is important to ensure that all VMS records and messages entered into the system are stored safely during the required period and that they will not be fraudulently altered;
    - security procedures: security procedures must take into account access to the system (both hardware and software), administration and maintenance, backup and general use of the system.


    4.1.3. These measures, which will be based on advanced technology and associated costs, will need to ensure an appropriate level of security to address the risks associated with the processing of surveys and messages.
    4.1.4. The security measures are described in more detail in the following paragraphs.
    4.2. Control of access to the system.
    4.2.1. The following characteristics correspond to the requirements for VMS equipment located in the CCAMLR data centre:


    - a rigorous password and authentication system: each user of the system is assigned a unique user identification code and a password associated with it. Whenever the user connects to the system, it must provide the correct password. Even when connected to the system, the user only has access to the functions and data granted to him during the configuration. Only a privileged user has access to all data;
    - physical access to the computer system is controlled;
    - audit: selective recording of events for the analysis and detection of breaches of security rules;
    - temporal access control: access to the system may be limited for each user at certain times of the day or at certain days of the week;
    - control of access to the terminal: specify for each workstation which users are allowed to have access to it.


    4.3. Authenticity and data security.
    4.3.1. The communication between the Contracting Parties and the CCAMLR secretariat with the aim of applying the 10-04 conservation measure will be done through Secure SSL Internet Protocols or verified certificates obtained from the CCAMLR secretariat.
    4.4. Data security.
    4.4.1. The limitation of access to data must be secured by a flexible user identification and password mechanism. Each user is granted access only to the data required for the task he or she must perform.
    4.5. Security procedures.
    4.5.1. Each Contracting Party and the CCAMLR secretariat shall appoint a security system administrator. This administrator examines the files generated by the software to which it is responsible, maintains the security of the system to which it is responsible, restricts, as appropriate, access to the system to which it is responsible and, in the case of Contracting Parties, serves as an intermediary with the secretariat to resolve security issues.


    CONSERVATION MEASUREMENT 10-05 (2013)
    Dissostichus spp capture documentation system.


    SpeciesAll
    AreasAll
    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    The Commission,
    Concerned that the illegal, unreported and unregulated (INN fishing) of Dissostichus spp. in the Convention area may result in a serious decrease in the populations of Dissostichus spp.,
    Acknowledging that the INN fishery causes a significant accidental capture of some Antarctic species, including albatros threatened with extinction,
    Noting that INN fishing is incompatible with the objective of the Convention and that it compromises the effectiveness of conservation measures taken by CCAMLR,
    Emphasizing the responsibility of flag States to ensure that their vessels conduct their fishing activities responsibly,
    Recognizing the rights and obligations of port States to promote the effectiveness of conservation measures applicable to regional fisheries,
    Aware that INN fishing reflects the high value of Dissostichus spp., leading to the expansion of markets and international trade in these species,
    Recalling that Contracting Parties have agreed to introduce classification codes for Dissostichus spp. at the national level,
    Recognizing that the implementation of a Dissostichus spp. (SDC) capture documentation system will provide the Commission with essential information to meet the Convention's precautionary management objectives,
    Firmly committed to taking measures consistent with international law to identify the origin of Dissostichus spp. entering the markets of the Contracting Parties and to determine whether Dissostichus spp. fished in the area of the Convention and imported into their territories was captured in accordance with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR,
    Wishing to strengthen the conservation measures already adopted by the Commission with regard to Dissostichus spp.,
    Recognizing further the importance of strengthening cooperation with non-contracting Parties to prevent, counter and eliminate INN fishing in the Convention area,
    Taking into account the adoption by the Commission of a policy to strengthen cooperation between CCAMLR and non-contracting Parties,
    Invites non-contracting Parties whose vessels fish Dissostichus spp. to subscribe to the SDC,
    Recognizing that all Contracting Parties have ceased to use paper-based documents and already issue and authorize all certificates through the electronic system that has been tested in accordance with resolution 21/XXIII,
    Adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:
    1. For the purposes of the SDC, and only for this purpose, the terms "disembarkation", "transshipment", "import", "export" and "reexport" meet the following definitions, whether or not they correspond to the relevant national legislation of the various SDC participants:
    (i) Dissostichus Capture Certificate (CCD): A CCD is an electronic certificate, generated through the CCAMLR capture documentation system (SDC), documenting the capture, landing, transshipment, export and re-export of Dissostichus spp.
    ii) Eat of the port: The Eat which exercises control over a particular port area or free trade area for the purposes of landing, trans-shipment, import, export and re-export and whose authorities are competent authorities in the authentication of landings or trans-shipments.
    (iii) Landing: The first transfer of a vessel, raw or after processing, to a dock or to another ship, to a port or free trade area where the landing of the capture is certified by an authority of the port State.
    (iv) Export: Any transport of a capture, raw or after treatment, from a territory under the control of the State or the free trade zone of landing or, if the said State or the said free trade zone is part of a customs union, of any other State member of that union.
    (v) import: The physical entry or transport of a capture on any part of a geographic territory under the control of a State, except where the captures are disembarked or transshipped under the definitions of "disembarkation" or "transshipment" referred to in this conservation measure.
    (vi) re-export: Any transport of a capture, raw or after treatment, of a territory under the control of a State, a free trade zone, or of a State member of a customs import union unless the State, the free trade zone or a State member of that customs import union is the first place of importation, in which case the transport corresponds to an export according to the definition of a "export" referred to in the definition referred to in the order.
    (vii) transshipment: The transfer of a gross or after-treatment capture of a vessel to another ship or to another means of transport and, where the transfer takes place in the territory under the control of a port State, with a view to carrying out its exit from that State. To avoid any doubt, the temporary placement of a land-capture or artificial structure to facilitate this transfer does not prevent the transfer from being a trans-shipment when the capture is not "disembarked" under the definition of a "disembarkation" referred to in this conservation measure.
    2. Each Contracting Party shall take measures to establish the origin of Dissostichus spp. imported into or exported from its territories and to determine, where such species have been captured in the Convention area, whether they have been imported into or exported from its territories in accordance with the conservation measures of CCAMLR.
    3. On the CCD form, created by the flag State concerned using the SDC, each Contracting Party requires that the master, or the authorized representative of each vessel flying its flag and authorized to engage in the fishing of Dissostichus eleginoides and/or Dissostichus mawsoni meet the information required for the CCD listed in Annex 10-05/A for the disembarked or trans-shipmented capture
    4. Each Contracting Party requires that any landing in its ports and any trans-shipment on its Dissostichus spp vessels be accompanied by a valid CCD duly completed. Dissostichus spp. disembarkation without a capture certificate is prohibited.
    5. Each Contracting Party, by virtue of its legislation and regulations, requires that vessels flying its flag and intending to operate Dissostichus spp., including on the high seas outside the Convention area, hold an express authorization to that effect. Each Contracting Party shall provide CCD forms, by the fastest electronic means, to each vessel flying its flag and authorized to operate Dissostichus spp. and only to those vessels.
    6. Non-contracting Parties engaged in the trade in Dissostichus spp. are encouraged to cooperate with CCAMLR by subscribing to this system and to contact the CCAMLR secretariat to seek assistance in this regard. Proposals must demonstrate how the specifically requested assistance will help combat INN fishing in the Convention area. These requests will be considered by the Commission at its annual meeting. The procedure for cooperation with CCAMLR in the implementation of the SDC by non-contracting Parties engaged in the trade of Dissostichus spp. is set out in Annex 10-05 C.
    7. A non-contracting Party cooperating with CCAMLR by subscribing to this system delivers electronic CCDs, in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraphs 8 and 9, to each vessel flying its flag that intends to operate Dissostichus spp.
    8. The CCD shall include the following information:
    (i) the name, address and telephone and fax numbers of the authority that issued the certificate;
    (ii) the name, the attachment port, the national registration number, the vessel's call sign and, where applicable, the IMO/Lloyd's registration number;
    (iii) the number of the licence or permit issued to the vessel, if any;
    (iv) the weight of each type of dissostichus disembarked or transshipped by product type, and
    (a) By sub-area or statistical division of CCAMLR, if capture comes from the Convention area; and/or
    (b) By area, sub-zone or statistical division of the OAA, if capture is not from the Convention area;
    (v) the dates of the period during which the capture was made;
    (vi) in the event of landing, the date and port of landing or, in the event of trans-shipment, the date, name of the trans-shipment vessel, flag and national registration number;
    (vii) the name, address and telephone and fax numbers of the person or persons receiving the capture, as well as the quantity of each species and the type of product received.
    9. The procedure for completing the CCD is set out in paragraphs A1 to A10 of Appendix 10-05/A of this measure.
    10. Each Contracting Party, and each non-contracting Party participating in the SDC pursuant to Annex 10-05/C, requires that any shipment of Dissostichus spp. imported into its territory or exported or re-exported from it be accompanied by the export/re-export certificate. Import, export or re-export of Dissostichus spp. without export/reexport certificate is prohibited. When CCDs are required, a paper output of the electronic certificate will be accepted.
    11. An export/re-export certificate issued in respect of a vessel shall:
    (i) include all relevant information and validation of the signatures set out in paragraphs A1 to A11 of Appendix 10-05/A of this measure;
    ii) mention the identity of the official agent (SDC official) of the exporting State who issues the certificate and validates the accuracy of the export and/or re-export information contained in the certificate.
    12. The registration, export and re-export certificate forms are attached to Appendix 10-05/A.
    13. Each Contracting Party, and each non-contracting Party participating in the SDC pursuant to Annex 10-05/C, shall ensure that its governmental customs authorities or other competent government officials require documentation relating to each shipment of Dissostichus spp. imported into or exported from its territory, and shall examine it to verify that it contains the export certificate and, where applicable, the corresponding amount of re-export, These authorities or agents may also examine the contents of any cargo in order to verify the information on the certificate(s).
    14. If, as a result of the verification referred to in paragraph 13 above or any other control conducted under the relevant national legislation, a matter has been raised with respect to information on a CCD or a certificate of export or re-export, the exporting State of which the government authority has validated the certificate(s), as well as, where appropriate, the importer State of the flag of the ship whose guest view has completed the certificate
    15. Upon their creation in the SDC, all capturing, export and re-export certificates listed in Appendix 10-05/A will be made available to the CCAMLR secretariat and to all Members who have played a role in their preparation, including the importing State.
    16. Each Contracting Party or any non-contracting Party issuing CCDs to vessels flying its flag in accordance with paragraph 7, shall communicate to the CCAMLR secretariat the name of the government authority or authorities (by indicating their name, address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail) responsible for issuing and validating CCDs.
    17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Contracting Party or any non-contracting Party participating in the SDC pursuant to Annex 10-05/C may require further verification of the information contained in the CCDs by, inter alia, a VMS, for captures (1) carried out outside the Convention area, at the time of landing, import into its territory or export from it.
    18. If, as a result of an audit under paragraph 13 or any other control conducted under the relevant national legislation, questions are raised under paragraph 14 or requests for further verification of certificates are required under paragraph 17, and it is determined, after consultation with the States concerned, that certain information contained in a CCD is not valid, the import, export or re-export of Dissostichus s
    19. If a Contracting Party participating in the SDC must sell or dispose of a cargo of Dissostichus spp. seized or confiscated, it may issue a specially validated Dissostichus capture certificate, specifying the reasons for such validation. This certificate will be accompanied by a statement specifying the circumstances under which the confiscated fish is found in a commercial sector. To the extent possible, Parties shall ensure that INN Fisheries Officers do not benefit from the sale of seized or confiscated catches. If a Contracting Party issues a specially validated certificate, it shall forthwith declare all validations to the secretariat informing all Parties and, where appropriate, record such information in trade statistics.
    20. A Contracting Party may transfer all or part of the revenues from the sale of Dissostichus spp. captures or confiscated to the SDC fund established by the Commission or in a national fund supporting the achievement of the objectives of the Convention. In addition, Contracting Parties may offer voluntary contributions to support the SDC Fund and its activities. A Contracting Party may, in accordance with its national legislation, refuse to open a market for the legion with a specially validated certificate issued by another State. Provisions relating to the use of the CDS Fund are listed in Appendix 10-05/B.

    (1) With the exception of the by-catch of Dissostichus spp. by trawlers conducting fishing operations in the high seas outside the Convention area. By incidental capture, a capture is defined not exceeding 5% of the total capture of all species and not exceeding 50 tonnes per vessel for the duration of a vessel's fishing exit.

    B1. The SDC Fund ("the Fund") is the main objective of providing a mechanism by which the Commission can strengthen its capacity to prevent, counter and eliminate INN fishing in the Convention area, among other things, by improving the effectiveness of the SDC.
    B2. The Fund is regulated by the following provisions:
    (i) the Fund will be used for special projects or, if the Commission so decides, to meet the special needs of the secretariat, whose objective is to strengthen the Commission's capacity to contribute to the prevention, deterrence and elimination of INN fishing in the Convention area. The Fund can also be used for the development of the SDC and for the improvement of its effectiveness, as well as for other purposes decided by the Commission.
    (ii) The Fund will be used primarily for projects implemented by the secretariat, although the participation of Members in these projects is not excluded. While individual projects of Members will be reviewed, the Committee ' s usual responsibilities will remain unchanged. The Fund will not be used to cover the routine activities of the secretariat.
    (iii) proposals for special projects may be made by Members, the Commission or the Scientific Committee and their subsidiary bodies, or by the secretariat. The proposals will be submitted to the Commission's annual meeting as working papers and will be accompanied by relevant information on the proposal and a detailed statement of planned spending.
    (iv) at each annual meeting, the Commission appoints the six members of a committee whose objective is to review the proposals and recommend to the Commission whether special projects or needs should be financed. The committee meets during the first week of the annual meeting of the Commission.
    (v) the Commission, under a permanent issue of the agenda of its annual meeting, shall consider all proposals advanced and make decisions on the projects to be adopted and their funding.
    (vi) The Fund may be used to assist member States and non-contracting Parties wishing to cooperate with CCAMLR by contributing to the prevention, deterrence and elimination of INN fishing in the Convention area, provided that this use is consistent with clauses i and ii above. Assistance is provided as part of the CCAMLR Cooperation Enhancement Programme, which is covered by the CCAMLR Cooperation Enhancement Policy between CCAMLR and non-contracting Parties. Member States and non-contracting Parties may submit proposals to be considered by the Commission at its annual meeting, if sponsored by a Member or by the secretariat or submitted in cooperation with a Member or the secretariat.
    (vii) the Commission's Financial Regulations shall apply to the Fund within the limits set out in these provisions, unless the Commission decides otherwise expressly.
    (viii) the secretariat shall report to the annual meeting of the Commission on the activities of the Fund, including its income and expenditure. In addition to this report, progress reports will be provided for each project funded by the Fund, including details of the costs incurred for each project. The report is distributed to Members prior to the annual meeting.
    (ix) if a Member's project is funded under paragraph ii, the Member shall submit an annual progress report, specifying the details of the costs incurred for the project. The report is presented to the secretariat in the form of a working paper to be distributed before the annual meeting. When the project is completed, the Member shall provide a final statement of account certified by an auditor authorized by the Board.
    (x) the Commission shall consider all the projects under way at its annual meeting under a permanent agenda item and shall reserve the right, after giving notice, to cancel a project at any time if it deems that necessary. Such a decision is exceptional and must take into account the progress made to date, and those that will be made in the future, and can only be taken if the Commission has, in advance, invited the project coordinator to present an argument justifying the continuation of the funding.
    (xi) the Commission may amend these provisions at any time.

    CONSERVATION MEASUREMENT 10-06 (2008)
    System to promote compliance with CCAMLR conservation measures by vessels of Contracting Parties


    SpeciesAll
    AreasAll
    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    The Commission,
    Convinced that illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (INN fishing) endangers the objective of the Convention,
    Acknowledging that many vessels registered with Parties and non-Parties are engaged in activities that reduce the effectiveness of CCAMLR conservation measures,
    Recalling that Contracting Parties are obliged to cooperate by taking the necessary measures to deter any activity that would not be in conformity with the objective of the Convention,
    Determined to strengthen its administrative and policy measures with the aim of eliminating INN fishing in the Convention area,
    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX.2 (i) of the Convention:
    1. At each annual meeting, the Commission identifies Contracting Parties whose vessels carried out INN fishing activities in the Convention area that reduce the effectiveness of CCAMLR conservation measures. It draws a list of these vessels (INN-PC List), in accordance with the following procedures and criteria.
    2. This identification will be documented, among other things, in the reports relating to the application of the 10-03 conservation measure, in the commercial information obtained on the basis of the application of the 10-05 conservation measure and in the relevant trade statistics, such as those of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (OAA) and other verifiable national or international statistics, as well as in any other information provided by the port states and/or
    3. Where a Contracting Party is notified that flag vessels of another Contracting Party have carried out activities referred to in paragraph 5, it shall submit within 30 days a report containing that information to the Executive Secretary and the Contracting Party concerned. The Contracting Parties indicate that the information is provided with the objective of determining whether the vessel concerned must be included in the List of INN-PC Ships under Conservation Measure 10-06. The Executive Secretary distributes this report within 24 hours (working days), to other Contracting Parties and non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the Dissostichus spp. (SDC) capture documentation system and invites them to provide the information they may be in possession with respect to the vessels referred to above, including with respect to their owner or shipowner and their commercial activities.
    For the purposes of this conservation measure, are considered to have conducted fishing activities that have diminished the effectiveness of conservation measures adopted by the Commission, Contracting Parties:


    (i) that do not ensure that their ships comply with the conservation measures adopted by the Commission and in force with respect to the fisheries in which they participate and which are within the jurisdiction of the CCAMLR;


    (i) whose vessels have been repeatedly referred to the List of INN-CP Ships.


    5. In order to carry a ship of Contracting Party on the List of INN-CP Ships, evidence will be sought, collected under paragraphs 2 and 3, according to which the vessel:


    (i) conducted fishing activities in the CAMLR Convention area without a licence to be issued in accordance with conservation measure 10-02, or in contravention of the conditions governing the issuance of the licence in respect of sectors, species and authorized dates; or
    (ii) did not record or report its captures in the CAMLR Convention area under the reporting system applicable to fisheries to which it participated, or made false statements; or
    (iii) conducted fishing operations when fishing was closed or in closed areas, contravening the conservation measures of CCAMLR; or
    (iv) used prohibited equipment, in violation of the applicable conservation measures of CCAMLR; or
    (v) trans-shipped captures, taken part in fishing operations, supported or restocked other vessels recognized by the CCAMLR as conducting INN fishing operations (i.e., vessels listed on the INN-PC List or on the INN-PNC List of Ships established under conservation measure 10-07); or
    (vi) did not produce, when held under conservation measure 10-05, a valid capture certificate for Dissostichus spp.; or
    (vii) has carried out fishing activities, in a manner that compromises the achievement of the objectives of the Convention in the waters adjacent to the islands, in the area of application of the Convention, on which the sovereignty of States is recognized by all Contracting Parties, in the terms of the declaration made by the President on 19 May 1980; or
    (viii) has carried out activities contrary to any other conservation measures of CCAMLR in a manner that compromises the achievement of the objectives of the Convention in accordance with Article XXII of the Convention.


    INN-PC List of Ships
    6. The Executive Secretary shall prepare, before 1 July of each year, a draft List of Ships of Contracting Parties (the INN-PC List) listing all vessels of Contracting Parties that, on the basis not only of the information gathered in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 and any other information that the Executive Secretary may have obtained in this regard, but also of the criteria defined in paragraph 4, would be presumed to have carried out activities to which it is doneML. The draft INN-PC List is immediately distributed to the Contracting Parties concerned.
    7. The Contracting Parties whose vessels are listed on the INN-PC List send their comments to the Executive Secretary by 1 September, adding verifiable VMS and other supporting information demonstrating that the vessels listed did not carry out the fishing activities that resulted in their listing on the INN-PC List.
    Interim list of INN-CP vessels
    8. The Executive Secretary draws up a new list (the Interim List of INN-PC Ships) that will include the INN-PC List and all information received in accordance with paragraph 7. Prior to 1 October, the Executive Secretary forwards the Interim List of INN-PC Ships, the INN-PC Ships List approved at the previous annual session of the CCAMLR and any documented evidence or information received since that meeting with respect to vessels listed on the INN-PC Ships Provisional List or the List of INN-PC Ships to all Contracting and non-contracting Parties that cooperate with the Commission by participating in the SDC. At the same time, the Executive Secretary:


    (i) Calls upon non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the SDC that, to the extent possible, in accordance with their applicable legislation and regulations, not to register or remove registration records of vessels that have been placed on the Interim List of INN-PC Ships until the Commission has had the opportunity to review the List and make a decision;
    (ii) Invites non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the SDC to submit any documented evidence or information with respect to vessels on the Interim List of INN-PC Ships or the List of INN-PC Ships within 30 days of the opening of the next annual meeting of the CCAMLR. When the incident occurs in the month preceding the next CCAMLR annual meeting, the documented evidence or information will be provided as soon as possible.


    9. Contracting Parties shall take all necessary measures, to the extent possible, according to their applicable legislation and regulations, to ensure that:


    (i) vessels that have been placed on the Interim List of INN-CP Vessels shall not be registered or removed from registration records until the Commission has had the opportunity to review the List and make a decision;
    (ii) if a vessel is removed from the vessel's registry, while the vessel is listed on the Interim List of INN-PC Ships, they shall inform, if possible, the Executive Secretary of the new proposed State of the ship's flag, as a result of which the Executive Secretary shall inform that the vessel is on the Interim List of INN-PC Ships and strongly advises that the vessel is not registered.


    Proposed List and Final List of INN-PC Ships
    10. The Contracting Parties shall submit to the Executive Secretary any additional information relevant to the establishment of the List of INN-CP Ships within 30 days of the information being received and no later than 30 days before the opening of the CCAMLR Annual Meeting. A report containing this information is submitted in the format set out in paragraph 16, and Contracting Parties indicate that the information is provided in the objective of determining whether the vessel concerned should be included in the List of INN-PC Ships under Conservation Measure 10-06. The secretariat gathers all information received and, in the event that it has not been provided with respect to a vessel, attempts to obtain the information referred to in paragraph 16 (i) to (vii).
    11. The Executive Secretary shall circulate to the Contracting Parties, no later than 30 days before the opening of the CCAMLR Annual Meeting, all documented evidence or information received under paragraphs 8 and 9, with any other documented evidence or information received under paragraphs 2 and 3.

    (ii) recommends to the Commission, where appropriate, which vessels should be removed from the List of INN-CP Ships adopted at the previous annual session of the CCAMLR, following consideration of the list and supporting information and evidence distributed under paragraph 10.


    13. SCIC shall enter a vessel on the List of Proposed INN-CP Ships only if one or more of the criteria in paragraph 5 have been met.
    14. SCIC recommends that the Commission remove a vessel from the List of INN-PC Ships if the Contracting Party has been able to prove:


    (i) that the vessel did not participate in the activities described in paragraph 1 that resulted in its registration on the List of National CNC Ships; or
    (ii) that it has taken effective measures in response to the activities in question, inter alia, by prosecuting or imposing sanctions of adequate severity; or
    (iii) that the vessel has changed ownership, or ownership as a beneficiary, if it is recognized that the vessel is separate from the registered owner, and that the new arming may establish that the previous owner has no longer any legal, financial or factual interest in the vessel, or exercise control over the vessel and that the new owner has not been involved in the INN fishing; or
    (iv) that it has taken measures considered sufficient to ensure that if it gives its flag to the vessel, it will not result in an INN fishing.


    15. In order to facilitate the task of CIC and the Commission, the Executive Secretary will prepare a document for each annual meeting of the CCAMLR, in which he will summarize and annex all information, supporting evidence and comments submitted with respect to each vessel to be examined.

The Executive Secretary shall circulate to non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the SDC the List of INN-PC Ships and the request that, to the extent possible in accordance with their applicable legislation and regulations, they shall not immulate vessels that have been listed until they are removed from the List by the Commission.
    21. If Contracting Parties obtain new information or changes in the details referred to in paragraph 16 (i) to (vii) with respect to vessels listed on the List of INN-CP Ships, they notify the Executive Secretary who posts a notification on a secure page of the CCAMLR site and notify all Contracting Parties of the notification. If this information is not subject to any comment within seven (7) days, the Executive Secretary shall review the List of INN-CP Ships.
    22. Without prejudice to their rights to take the necessary action under international law, Contracting Parties shall not take any commercial or other sanctions that are not in conformity with their international obligations against ships, on the basis of their actions on the fact that the ship(s) has (are) been put on the draft List of INN-PC Ships prepared by the Executive Secretary, in accordance with paragraph 6.
    23. The Chair of the Commission requests the Contracting Parties identified in accordance with paragraph 1 to take immediate action to prevent the activities of their ships from compromising the effectiveness of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR and to inform the Commission of the measures taken in this regard.
    24. The Commission shall consider, if necessary, at the following annual meetings of the CCAMLR, the measures taken by the Contracting Parties that have been requested in accordance with paragraph 23 and identify those that have not altered their fishing activities.
    25. The Commission shall decide on the appropriate action with respect to Dissostichus spp. to resolve these difficulties with the Contracting Parties identified. To this end, Contracting Parties may cooperate to adopt appropriate and accepted multilateral trade measures in accordance with their obligations of members of the World Trade Organization, which may be necessary to prevent, counter and eliminate INN activities identified by the Commission. Multilateral trade measures can be used to support cooperative efforts to ensure that the trade of Dissostichus spp. and its products cannot in any way encourage INN fishing or diminish in any way the effectiveness of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR that comply with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.


    CONSERVATION MEASURES 10-07 (2009)
    System to promote compliance by vessels of non-contracting Parties with CCAMLR conservation measures

    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    The Commission,
    Convinced that illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (INN fishing) endangers the objective of the Convention,
    Aware that many vessels registered with non-contracting Parties are engaged in activities that reduce the effectiveness of the conservation measures of CCAMLR,
    Recalling that Contracting Parties are obliged to cooperate by taking the necessary measures to deter any activity that would not be in conformity with the objective of the Convention,
    Determined to strengthen its administrative and policy measures with the aim of eliminating INN fishing in the Convention area,
    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX.2 (i) of the Convention:


    1. The Contracting Parties call upon non-contracting Parties to unite their efforts with those of the Commission to ensure that the effectiveness of CCAMLR conservation measures is not diminished.
    2. At each annual meeting, the Commission identifies non-contracting Parties whose vessels engaged in INN fishing activities in the Convention area threaten to jeopardize the effectiveness of CCAMLR conservation measures. It lists these vessels (INN-PNC List), in accordance with the following procedures and criteria.
    3. This identification will be documented, among other things, in the reports relating to the application of the conservation measure 10-03, in the commercial information obtained on the basis of the application of the conservation measure 10-05 and in the relevant trade statistics, such as those of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and other verifiable national or international statistics, as well as in any other information provided by the States of the port and/or report,
    4. It is presumed that any vessel of a non-contracting Party observed in the exercise of fishing operations in the Convention area or to which the authorization to enter, disembark or transship captures was denied under conservation measure 10-03, jeopardizes the effectiveness of the conservation measures of CCAMLR. In the case of trans-shipment activities involving the participation of a vessel of a non-contracting Party located inside or outside the area of the Convention, the presumption that the effectiveness of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR is compromised applies to any other non-contracting Party vessel that has engaged in such activities with that vessel.
    5. When the vessel of a non-contracting Party referred to in paragraph 4 enters a port of a Contracting Party, it is controlled by the competent authorities of that Party in accordance with conservation measure 10-03. It is not authorized to disembark or transship any species of fish subject to the conservation measures of the CCAMLR that it would hold on board only if it can establish that the fish was caught in accordance with all relevant conservation measures of the CCAMLR and the provisions of the Convention.
    6. A Contracting Party that observes a vessel of a non-contracting Party engaged in fishing activities in the area of the Convention or refuses to a non-contracting Party the right of access, landing or trans-shipment to its port, in accordance with paragraph 5, shall attempt to inform the vessel that it is presumed to affect the effectiveness of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, and that this information shall be communicated to the Secretary
    7. Information concerning such observations or refusal of access to port, landing or trans-shipment and authorization to land or trans-ship, as well as the results of all ship controls carried out in the ports of Contracting Parties, and any action that would follow, shall be transmitted within 24 hours (working days) to the Commission in accordance with Article XXII of the Convention. The Executive Secretary shall transmit this information to all Contracting Parties within one working day, from receipt, and as soon as possible, to the flag State of the vessel and to the relevant regional fisheries organizations. In consultation with the Chairperson of the Commission, he then requested the flag State concerned to take, where appropriate, measures in accordance with its applicable legislation and regulations to ensure that the vessel in question ceases any activity that would compromise the effectiveness of the conservation measures and to report to the CCAMLR on the results of such investigations and/or actions it has undertaken with respect to the vessel. Other Contracting Parties and non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the Dissostichus spp. (SDC) Capture Documentation System are invited to provide the information they may be in possession with respect to the vessels referred to above, including with respect to their owner or shipowner and their commercial activities.
    8. Where a Contracting Party is notified that a ship of a non-contracting Party has carried out activities referred to in paragraph 9, it shall submit within 30 days a report containing such information to the Executive Secretary (even if such information has already been transmitted under paragraph 7). Contracting Parties shall indicate that the information is provided with the objective of determining whether the vessel concerned must be included in the List of INN-PNC Ships under Conservation Measure 10-07. In addition, the Contracting Party may also submit the report directly to the Contracting Party concerned. The Executive Secretary shall promptly distribute this report to the non-contracting Party concerned, indicating that the information is provided for the purpose of determining whether the vessel concerned must be included in the List of INN-PNC Ships under Conservation Measure 10-07. The Executive Secretary asks the flag State to take the necessary steps to prevent the vessel's activities from jeopardizing the effectiveness of the CCAMLR conservation measures and to inform the Commission of the measures taken with respect to that vessel. The Executive Secretary shall, as soon as possible, distribute the information and any report of the flag State to all other Contracting Parties.
    9. In order to carry a non-contracting Party vessel on the List of INN-PNC vessels, evidence will be sought, collected under paragraphs 3 and 8, according to which the vessel:
    (i) was observed in fishing activity in the CAMLR Convention area; or
    (ii) was denied access to port, landing or trans-shipment under conservation measure 10-03; or
    (iii) transshipped captures, taken part in fishing operations, supported or restocked other vessels recognized by the CCAMLR as conducting INN fishing operations (i.e., vessels listed on the INN-PNC List or on the INN-CP List established under conservation measure 10-06); or
    (iv) did not produce, when held under conservation measure 10-05, a valid capture certificate for Dissostichus spp.; or
    (v) has carried out fishing activities, in a manner that compromises the achievement of the objectives of the Convention in the waters adjacent to the islands, in the area of application of the Convention, on which the sovereignty of States is recognized by all Contracting Parties, in the terms of the declaration made by the President on 19 May 1980; or
    (vi) has carried out activities contrary to any other conservation measures of CCAMLR in a manner that compromises the achievement of the objectives of the Convention in accordance with Article XXII of the Convention.
    INN-PNC List of Ships
    10. The Executive Secretary shall prepare, before 1 July of each year, a draft List of Ships of Non-Contracting Parties (the INN-PNC List of Ships) listing all vessels of non-Contracting Parties that, on the basis of not only information gathered in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 8, and any other information that the Executive Secretary may have obtained in this regard, would be presumed to have carried out activities to which it is referred to in paragraph 9 ML. The draft List of INN-PNC Ships is immediately distributed to concerned non-contracting Parties and Contracting Parties.
    11. The Executive Secretary invites non-contracting Parties whose vessels are listed on the INN-PNC List to forward their comments to the Executive Secretary by 1 September, including verifiable VMS and other supporting information demonstrating that the listed vessels did not carry out the fishing activities that resulted in their listing on the INN-PNC List.
    Provisional List of INN-PNC Ships
    12. The Executive Secretary draws up a new list (the Interim List of INN-PNC Ships) that will include the INN-PNC List and all information received in accordance with paragraph 11. Prior to 1 October, the Executive Secretary forwards the Interim List of INN-PNC Ships, the List of INN-PNC Ships approved at the previous annual session of the CCAMLR and any documented evidence or information received since that meeting with respect to vessels listed on the Interim List of INN-PNC Ships or the List of INN-PNC Ships to all Contracting and non-contracting Parties that cooperate with the Commission by participating in the SDC. At the same time, the Executive Secretary:
    (i) Calls upon non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the SDC, to the extent possible, in accordance with their applicable legislation and regulations, not to register or remove registration records of vessels that have been placed on the List until the Commission has had the opportunity to review the List and make a decision;
    (ii) invites non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the SDC to submit any documented evidence or information with respect to vessels on the Interim List of INN-PNC Ships or the List of INN-PNC Ships within 30 days prior to the opening of the next annual meeting of the CCAMLR. When the incident occurs in the month preceding the next CCAMLR annual meeting, the documented evidence or information is provided as soon as possible;
    (iii) transmits the provisional list of INN-NCP vessels and any evidence or documented information received with respect to vessels listed on the List to all non-contracting Parties whose vessels are on the List and are not Contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the SDC.
    13. Contracting Parties shall take all necessary measures, to the extent possible, according to their applicable legislation and regulations, to ensure that:
    (i) vessels that have been placed on the Interim List of INN-PNC vessels are not registered or removed from registration records until the Commission has had the opportunity to review the List and make a decision;
    (ii) if they remove a vessel from the vessel's registry, while the vessel is on the Interim List of INN-PNC Ships, they shall inform, if possible, the Executive Secretary of the new proposed State of the ship's flag, following which, the Executive Secretary shall inform that State that the vessel is on the Interim List of INN-PNC Ships and strongly advise that State not to register the vessel.
    13. Proposed List and Final List of INN-NCP Ships
    14. The Contracting Parties shall submit to the Executive Secretary any additional information that may be relevant to the establishment of the INN-PNC List within 30 days of the information being received and no later than 30 days before the opening of the CCAMLR Annual Meeting. A report containing this information is submitted in the format set out in paragraph 20, and Contracting Parties indicate that the information is provided to determine whether the vessel concerned is to be included in the List of INN-PNC Ships under Conservation Measure 10-07. The Executive Secretary collects all information received and, in the event that it has not been provided with respect to a vessel, attempts to obtain the information referred to in paragraph 20 (i) to (vii).
    15. The Executive Secretary shall circulate to the Contracting Parties, no later than 30 days before the opening of the CCAMLR Annual Meeting, all documented evidence or information received under paragraphs 12 and 13, with any other documented evidence or information received under paragraphs 3 and 8.
    16. At each annual session of the CCAMLR, the Standing Committee on the Application and Compliance of Regulations (SCIC), by consensus:
    (i) adopt a proposed List of INN-PNC Ships, after consideration of the Interim List of INN-PNC Ships and supporting information and evidence distributed under paragraph 14. The proposed list of INN-PNC vessels is submitted to the Commission for approval;
    (ii) recommends to the Commission, where appropriate, which vessels should be removed from the INN-PNC List of Ships adopted at the previous annual session of the CCAMLR, after consideration of the list and supporting information and evidence distributed under paragraph 14.
    17. SCIC shall enter a vessel on the proposed List of INN-PNC Ships only if one or more of the criteria of paragraph 9 have been met.
    18. SCIC recommends that the Commission remove a vessel from the INN-PNC List if the Contracting Party has been able to prove:


    (i) that the vessel did not participate in the activities described in paragraph 9 that resulted in its listing of INN-PNC vessels; or
    (ii) that it has taken effective measures in response to the activities in question, inter alia, by prosecuting or imposing sanctions of adequate severity; or
    (iii) that the vessel has changed ownership, or ownership as a beneficiary, if it is recognized that it is separate from the official owner, and that the new arming may establish that the previous owner has no legal, financial or de facto interests in the vessel, or exercises control over it and that the new owner has not been involved in the INN fishing; or
    (iv) that it has taken measures considered sufficient to ensure that if it gives its flag to the vessel, it will not result in an INN fishing.


    19. In order to facilitate the task of CIC and the Commission, the Executive Secretary will prepare a document for each annual meeting of the CCAMLR, in which he will summarize and annex all information, supporting evidence and comments submitted with respect to each vessel to be examined.
    20. The INN-PNC List of Ships, the INN-PNC Provisional List of Ships, the INN-PNC List of Ships and the INN-PNC List of Ships will contain the following information:


    (i) the name of the vessel and, where appropriate, its former names;
    (ii) the vessel ' s flag and, where appropriate, the old flags;
    (iii) the shipowner and, where applicable, the former shipowners, including the owners as beneficiary;
    (iv) the operator of the vessel and, where applicable, the former operators;
    (v) the call sign of the vessel and, where applicable, the former call signs;
    (vi) Lloyds/IMO number;
    (vii) photographs of the vessel, if available;
    (viii) the date on which the vessel was first referred to the INN-PNC List;
    (ix) a summary of activities justifying the vessel's listing, as well as references to all relevant documents containing information and evidence of such activities;
    (x) the date and location of any subsequent observations of the vessel in the Convention area, as well as any other relevant activity carried out by the vessel in contravention of the CCAMLR conservation measures;
    (xi) a statement indicating whether the flag State of the vessel authorized one or more Contracting Parties to inspect the vessel.


    21. In approving the INN-PNC List of Ships, the Commission requests non-contracting Parties whose vessels are listed on this list to take all necessary measures to stop these activities, including, where appropriate, by withdrawing their registration or fishing licences, by canceling the relevant capture certificates and refusing any further access to the SDC, and informing the Commission of the measures taken in this regard.
    22. Contracting Parties shall take all necessary measures, subject to their relevant legislation, regulations and international law and by virtue of them to:


    (i) the issuance of a licence to a vessel on the List of INN-PNC vessels, authorizing it to fish in the Convention area, is prohibited;
    (ii) fishing vessels, support vessels, fuel-supply vessels, mother ships and cargo vessels flying their flag do not provide assistance to vessels listed on the INN-PNC List by participating in trans-shipments, joint fishing operations, supporting or resuppliing such vessels;

Vessels allowed to enter the port must be controlled in accordance with the relevant conservation measures;
    (iv) when vessels are granted access to the port:
    (a) documentation and other information, including CCDs, as appropriate, shall be considered, with a view to verifying the area in which the capture was carried out; and when the origin cannot be properly verified, the capture is retained or any disembarkation or transshipment of the capture is refused; and
    (b) if applicable
    i. in the event that a capture was made in violation of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, the capture is confiscated;
    ii. any form of support to these vessels, including non-emergency fuel supplies, resupply and repairs, is prohibited;
    (v) the charter of a vessel on the INN-PNC List is prohibited;
    (vi) vessels listed on the INN-PNC List are denied the right to defeat their flag;
    (vii) imports, exports and re-exports of Dissostichus spp. from vessels listed on the INN-PNC List are prohibited;
    (viii) "the validation of the export or re-export by the competent authorities of the government" is not certified when it is stated that the cargo (from Dissostichus spp.) was captured by a vessel on the INN-PNC List;
    (ix) importers, carriers and other interested parties are encouraged to refrain from trade and transship fish caught by vessels listed on the INN-PNC List;
    (x) all relevant information on which sufficient documentation is available shall be submitted to the Executive Secretary and forwarded to Contracting Parties and non-contracting Parties, fishing entities or entities cooperating with the Commission by participating in the SDC, with the aim of detecting, controlling and avoiding import, export or other commercial activities related to the capture of vessels listed on the INN-PNC List, which were intended to bypass this measure.


    23. The Executive Secretary places the List of INN-PNC vessels approved by the Commission in the section of the CCAMLR site that is accessible to the public. In addition, it communicates the INN-PNC List to FAO and relevant regional fisheries organizations to strengthen cooperation between CCAMLR and these organizations with a view to preventing, deterring and eliminating INN fishing.
    24. The Executive Secretary shall circulate to non-contracting Parties cooperating with the Commission by participating in the DCS the List of INN-PNC Ships and requests that, to the extent possible in accordance with their applicable legislation and regulations, they shall not immulate vessels that are listed until they are removed from the List by the Commission.
    25. If Contracting Parties obtain new information or changes in the details referred to in paragraphs 20 (i) to (vii) with respect to vessels listed on the List of INN-PNC ships, they notify the Executive Secretary of the notification on a secure page of the CCAMLR site and notify all Contracting Parties and the Contracting Party concerned of the notification. If this information is not subject to any comment within seven (7) days, the Executive Secretary shall review the INN-PNC List.
    26. Without prejudice to their rights to take the necessary action under international law, Contracting Parties shall not take any commercial or other sanctions that do not comply with their international obligations against ships, on the basis of their actions on the fact that the ship(s) has (are) been placed on the draft INN-PNC Ship List prepared by the Executive Secretary, in accordance with paragraph 10.
    27. The Chair of the Commission requests the non-contracting Parties identified in accordance with paragraph 1 to take all necessary measures to prevent the activities of their vessels from compromising the effectiveness of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, including, where appropriate, by withdrawing their registration or fishing licences, by cancelling the relevant capture certificates and refusing any further access to the SDC, and to inform the Commission of the measures taken in this regard.
    28. The Contracting Parties shall jointly and/or individually request the non-contracting Parties identified in paragraph 2 to cooperate fully with the Commission to avoid reducing the effectiveness of the conservation measures adopted by the Commission. The Contracting Parties shall notify the CCAMLR secretariat of any replies received from non-contracting Parties, including information on the measures taken by non-contracting Parties to improve the effectiveness of CCAMLR conservation measures. These elements will be posted on the CCAMLR website (a password-protected party) under the heading "Information of the SCIC / Diplomatic Actions Under the INN Fishing". A list of non-contracting Parties that have authorized one or more Contracting Parties to inspect their ship(s) under the CCAMLR inspection system or that have reported any other measures taken with respect to vessels flying their flag, such as to facilitate their CCAMLR inspection, is also presented.
    29. The Commission shall consider, if necessary, at the following annual meetings of the CCAMLR, the measures taken by non-contracting Parties that have been requested in accordance with paragraph 26 and identify those that have not altered their fishing activities.
    30. The Commission shall decide on the appropriate action with respect to Dissostichus spp. to resolve these difficulties with the Contracting Parties identified. To this end, Contracting Parties may cooperate to adopt appropriate and accepted multilateral trade measures in accordance with their obligations of members of the World Trade Organization, which may be necessary to prevent, counter and eliminate INN activities identified by the Commission. Multilateral trade measures can be used to support cooperative efforts to ensure that the trade of Dissostichus spp. and its products cannot in any way encourage INN fishing or diminish in any way the effectiveness of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR that comply with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

    The Commission,
    Determined that illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (INN) weakens the objectives of the Convention,
    Concerned that some flag States do not fulfil their obligations with respect to jurisdiction and control under international law with respect to fishing vessels flying their flag carrying out activities in the Convention area and that such vessels are not under the effective control of those flag States,
    Aware that the lack of effective control helps these vessels to carry out fishing activities in the Convention area that undermine the effectiveness of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, resulting in INN catches of fish and unacceptable rates of seabird mortality,
    Concerned that vessels engaged in activities in the Convention area without complying with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR may be supported by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the Contracting Parties, including through participation in the trans-shipment, transport and trade of illicitly exploited or working on board or participating in the management of such vessels,
    Aware that, without prejudice to the primary responsibility of the flag State, taking measures in accordance with the national legislation applicable to any individual who participates in or supports INN fishing may be an effective way to deal with INN fishing,
    Acknowledging that illegal fishing owners limit their responsibilities and do not comply with acceptable legitimate rules of conduct by frequently resorting to the structure of companies and international financial arrangements, Members undertake to encourage and support investigations conducted in these practices,
    Taking note of the OAA International Action Plan to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fisheries in which States are urged to take measures to discourage nationals under their jurisdiction to support or conduct any activity that may compromise the effectiveness of international conservation and management measures,
    Recalling that Contracting Parties should cooperate by taking relevant measures to deter any activity that would be incompatible with the objectives of the Convention,
    Determined to strengthen its administrative and policy measures with the aim of eliminating INN fishing in the Convention area,
    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX.2 (i) of the Convention:


    1. Without prejudice to the primary responsibility of the flag State, Contracting Parties shall take measures, subject to their legislation and regulations and in accordance with these:
    (i) to verify whether their nationals or any natural or legal person under their jurisdiction are engaged in the activities described in paragraphs 5 (i) to (viii) of the conservation measure 10-06 and 9 (i) to (vi) of the conservation measure 10-07;
    (ii) to verify whether their nationals, or any natural or legal person under their jurisdiction, are responsible or benefit from the activities described above (e.g., as shipowners, actual beneficiaries, owners, service providers and logistics);
    (iii) to take appropriate measures in response to any verified activity specified in paragraphs 1 (i) and 1 (ii). These measures may include measures depriving any participant of these activities of profits by deriving and deterring him from continuing his illegal activities.
    2. The Contracting Parties shall cooperate, including through the use of mutual and collaborative information-sharing arrangements to implement this conservation measure. To this end, the relevant agencies of the Contracting Parties shall designate a point of contact through which information on the reported activities, as described in paragraphs 1(i) and 1(ii), including information on the identification of the vessel, its owner and owner, the crew members and the capture, as well as information on the relevant national legislation and the results of the measures taken with respect to the application of this conservation measure, may be exchanged.
    3. To ensure the application of this conservation measure, Contracting Parties shall submit reports to the CCAMLR secretariat, Contracting Parties and non-contracting Parties cooperating with CCAMLR with the aim of applying the Dissostichus spp. capture documentation system on the measures taken in accordance with paragraph 1, in a timely manner. These reports will be distributed to Parties by the secretariat in an appropriate manner.
    4. These provisions will apply from 1 July 2008. Contracting Parties may decide to voluntarily apply these provisions before that date.

    FisheriesDivers
    The Commission,
    Desirous of raising awareness among CCAMLR of all vessels operating in the Convention area and, in particular, those providing support to fishing vessels,
    Noting that an increasing number of vessels carry out operations in the Convention area, either directly through operations or through support to such vessels,
    Recognizing the need to strengthen the control of trans-shipment operations in support of the exploitation of species in the Convention area,
    Concerned that vessels involved in the support of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (INN) could operate in the Convention area,
    Taking into account the need to combat INN fishing activities, as they reduce the effectiveness of conservation measures already adopted by CCAMLR,
    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:


    1. This conservation measure applies to all new or exploratory fisheries of the CCAMLR, as well as to those listed in Appendix 10-09/A.
    2. Each Contracting Party in its capacity as a flag State shall notify the secretariat, at least 72 hours in advance, of the intention of one of its ships to transshipment (1) in the area of the Convention. The flag State may permit or order the vessel to transmit such notices directly to the secretariat.
    3. Paragraph 2 does not apply to vessels with licences issued by the Contracting Parties to the CCAMLR pursuant to Conservation Measure 10-02 in the Convention Area, which propose to transfer goods other than marine marine resources that are fished, bait or fuel. In this case, each Contracting Party shall notify the secretariat at least 2 hours in advance. The flag State may permit or order the vessel to transmit such notices directly to the secretariat.
    4. Notifications of intent to conduct trans-shipment operations under paragraphs 2 or 3 above shall include the following information for all vessels concerned:
    - name and registration number;
    - international radio code;
    - State of the pavilion;
    - type of vessel, length, gross tonnage (TJB) and load capacity;
    - time and position (latitude and longitude) proposed from transshipment.
    4. The notification should also include details on the type and quantity of captures and/or other goods, such as food and fuel reserves, affected by transshipment.
    5. The CCAMLR secretariat maintains a list of all such notifications on a page of the password-protected website in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of confidentiality notified by Contracting Parties to their ships.
    6. For fisheries not covered by the provisions of paragraph 1, the Contracting Parties to the CCAMLR will submit to the annual meeting of the Commission a supporting document outlining the details referred to in paragraph 4 of all activities for the transshipment of vessels flying their flag that were carried out during the year in the area of the Convention.
    7. No ship referred to in paragraph 1 may transshipment in the Convention area without having submitted the prior notification referred to in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 above.

    (1) Trans-shipment means the transfer of living marine resources, other goods or materials between fishing vessels.

    The Commission,
    Recalling that the Commission has adopted a series of conservation measures to achieve the objective of the Convention,
    Noting Article XXI of the Convention that Contracting Parties shall take, within their competence, appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Convention and the conservation measures adopted by the Commission,
    Noting that, in accordance with Article X of the Convention, the Commission has undertaken to draw the attention of all Contracting Parties to any activity that, in its view, is contrary to the achievement by a Contracting Party of the objectives of the Convention or to the fulfilment by that Contracting Party of its obligations under the Convention,
    Noting also that, in accordance with international law and conservation measures 10-06 and 10-08, Contracting Parties are responsible for exercising effective control over ships flying their flag and their nationals,
    Noting further that the Commission should be informed, in a responsible, open, transparent and non-discriminatory manner, of all available information that could inform its work on the identification and treatment of non-compliance with conservation measures,
    Recalling the obligation of the Contracting Parties to notify and inform the secretariat of possible cases of non-compliance and to address them in accordance with the provisions of the existing conservation measures,

    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    The Commission,
    Acknowledging that, in the past, some Antarctic fisheries have been operational in the Convention area prior to the acquisition of sufficient information to permit the formulation of management advice,
    Noting that in recent years, new fisheries have been established without adequate information that would have made it possible to assess the potential or potential impact on the stocks or species that are dependent on them,
    Considering that, in the absence of prior notification of the exploitation of a new fishery, it is unable to perform its functions under Article IX,


    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:
    1. For the purposes of this conservation measure, a new fishery is a fishery of a particular species, captured by a particular method in a sub-zone or statistical division for which the CCAMLR has never received:
    (i) any information on the distribution, abundance, demography, potential performance or identity of the stock from detailed assessment/research campaigns or exploratory campaigns; or
    (ii) any capture and fishing effort data; or
    (iii) any capture and fishing effort data for the last two seasons during which fishing operations took place.
    2. In addition to the fisheries identified under paragraph 1, in the high seas areas of the Convention area, the use of certain fishing methods in certain areas specified in Appendix 21-01/A will be new fisheries and will require the approval of the Commission prior to the implementation of fishing activities.
    3. Any Member proposing to participate in an exploratory fisheries must:
    (i) notify the Commission of its intention not later than three months before the ordinary meeting of the Commission. This notification shall include the information referred to in paragraph 3 of conservation measure 10-02 with respect to vessels proposing to carry out activities in the fisheries, with the exception of the information referred to in paragraph 3 (ii) of that measure. Members, to the extent possible, also mention in their notification the additional information detailed in paragraph 4 of conservation measure 10-02 with respect to each notified fishing vessel. However, Members are not exempted from their obligation, pursuant to conservation measure 10-02, to submit all details on the vessel and the licence within the time limits of the issuance of the licence in question;
    (ii) prepare and submit to the CCAMLR, before the agreed date, a Fishing Activities Plan for the fishing season to be considered by the Scientific Committee and the Commission. The Fisheries Plan should include, to the extent that Members can provide them, the following information to assist the Scientific Committee in preparing the Data Collection Plan:
    (a) the nature of the new fishery, including the intended species, fishing methods, the proposed region and the proposed maximum catch rates for the coming season;
    b) biological information on the species covered by the evaluation and research campaigns, such as distribution, abundance, demographic data and the identity of the stock;
    (c) details on dependent and neighbouring species and the likelihood that they are affected by fisheries; proposed
    (d) information from other fisheries in the region or similar fisheries in other regions of the world that may facilitate the assessment of potential yield;
    (e) if the proposed fishery is implemented through bottom trawlers, information on the known and expected impact on vulnerable ecosystems, including benthos and benthic communities.
    (iii) commit, in its proposal, to implement any data collection plan developed by the Scientific Committee on Fisheries.
    4. The Member shall not undertake the operation of a new fishery before the actions specified in paragraphs 10 and 11 below are carried out.
    5. If a Member proposing to participate in a new fishery fails to submit a notification of this project to the Commission before the deadline specified in paragraph 3 above, the Commission will not consider the proposal and the Member will not authorize, under conservation measure 10-02, vessels flying its flag to participate in the proposed fishing activities.
    6. When the proposed new fishery includes substantive fishing activities, the Member will not authorize, under conservation measure 10-02, vessels flying its flag to participate in proposed substantive fishing activities if the procedures set out in paragraph 7 of the 22-06 conservation measure have not been fully complied with.
    7. To ensure that the Scientific Committee has the information it needs for the evaluation, during the period when the fishery is considered new, the Scientific Committee develops (and updates annually, if necessary) a data collection plan that should include research proposals, if appropriate. This will identify the necessary data and describe the action to be taken in operational research to obtain the appropriate data from the exploratory fisheries to allow an assessment of the stock.
    8. The Data Collection Plan includes:
    (i) a description of the capture, fishing effort and related, biological, ecological and environmental data required to undertake the evaluations described in paragraph 1, as well as the annual reporting deadline for this data to the CCAMLR;
    (ii) a plan that will serve as a basis for the fishing effort in the initial phase, in order to allow the acquisition of the data necessary for the assessment of the capacity of the fisheries, the ecological relations between the exploited, dependent and neighbouring populations and the likelihood of adverse consequences;
    (iii) where appropriate, a plan for the acquisition of all other research data by fishing vessels, including those resulting from activities that may require the cooperation of scientific observers and the vessel, based on the needs identified by the Scientific Committee for the Assessment of Fishing Opportunities and Ecological Relations between the exploited, dependent and neighbouring populations, as well as the likelihood of adverse consequences;
    (iv) an assessment of the time scales required to determine the response to the fishing activities of the exploited, dependent and neighbouring populations.
    9. The new fisheries are only open to vessels equipped and configured in such a way that they can comply with all relevant conservation measures. A vessel whose involvement in illegal, unregulated or unregulated fishing under conservation measures 10-06 and 10-07 is recognized is prohibited from fishing in new fisheries.
    10. The information provided under paragraphs 3 to 9, as well as any other relevant information, will be considered by the Scientific Committee which will transmit its views to the Commission accordingly.
    11. Having considered the information on the proposed new fisheries, and taking fully into account the recommendations and advice of the Scientific Committee, the Commission may take appropriate action.

    The Commission,
    Acknowledging that, in the past, some fisheries in Antarctica have been exploited and developed in the Convention area prior to the acquisition of sufficient information to permit the formulation of management advice,
    Believing that fishing exploration operations should not, in any case, be allowed to increase faster than the acquisition of the information necessary to ensure that fishing operations can be conducted in accordance with the principles set out in Article II, and that they are, in fact,


    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:
    1. For the purposes of this conservation measure, exploration fisheries are defined as follows:
    (i) an exploratory fishery is a fishery that previously was considered a "new fishery" according to the definition of conservation measure 21-01;
    ii) an exploratory fishery falls under this classification until the acquisition of sufficient information to:
    (a) assess the distribution, abundance and demography of the species concerned, in order to allow an estimate of the potential yield of the fishery;
    (b) measure the potential impact of fisheries on dependent and neighbouring species;
    (c) allow the Scientific Committee, where appropriate, to formulate and provide advice to the Commission on desirable levels of capture and fishing effort and on appropriate fishing gear.
    2. To ensure that the Scientific Committee has the information it needs for the evaluation, during the period when the fishery is considered to be exploratory, the Scientific Committee develops (and updates annually, if necessary) a data collection plan that should include research proposals, if appropriate. This will identify the necessary data and describe the action to be taken in operational research to obtain the appropriate data from the exploratory fisheries to allow an assessment of the stock.
    3. The Data Collection Plan includes:
    (i) a description of the capture, fishing effort and associated, biological, ecological and environmental data required to undertake the evaluations described in paragraph 1 (ii), as well as the annual reporting deadline for this data to the CCAMLR;
    (ii) a plan to direct the fishing effort in the exploratory phase in order to allow the acquisition of the data necessary for the assessment of the capacity of the fishery, the ecological relations between the exploited, dependent and neighbouring populations and the likelihood of adverse consequences;
    (iii) where appropriate, a plan for the acquisition of all other research data by fishing vessels, including those resulting from activities that may require the cooperation of scientific observers and the vessel, based on the needs identified by the Scientific Committee for the Assessment of Fishing Opportunities and Ecological Relations between the exploited, dependent and neighbouring populations, as well as the likelihood of adverse consequences;
    (iv) an assessment of the time scales required to determine the response to the fishing activities of the exploited, dependent and neighbouring populations.
    4. The Commission determines each year the precautionary capture limit set at a level not significantly higher than that for obtaining the information specified in the Data Collection Plan and required for the evaluations described in paragraph 1(ii).
    5. A Member intending to conduct fishing activities under this conservation measure may only notify vessels flying the flag or that of another CCAMLR Member at the time of notification (3).
    6. Any Member proposing to participate in an exploratory fisheries must:
    (i) notify the Commission of its intention by 1 June (4) before the next ordinary meeting of the Commission. This notification shall include the information referred to in paragraph 3 of conservation measure 10-02 with respect to vessels proposing to carry out activities in the fisheries, with the exception of the information referred to in paragraph 3 (ii) of that measure. Members, to the extent possible, also mention in their notification the additional information detailed in paragraph 4 of conservation measure 10-02 with respect to each notified fishing vessel. However, Members are not exempted from their obligation, pursuant to conservation measure 10-02, to submit all details on the vessel and the licence within the time limits of the issuance of the licence in question;
    (ii) prepare and submit to the CCAMLR, by 1 June, a Fisheries Season Plan for consideration by the Scientific Committee and the Commission. To the extent possible, Members must endeavour to include in the Fisheries Activities Plan the following information to assist the Scientific Committee in preparing the Data Collection Plan:
    (a) the nature of the exploratory fishery, including the intended species, fishing methods, the proposed region and the proposed maximum catch rates for the coming season;
    (b) specifications (5) and full description (6) of the types of fishing gear that will be used:
    (c) biological information on the species included in the evaluation and research campaigns, such as distribution, abundance, demographic data and the identity of the stock;
    (d) details on dependent and neighbouring species and the likelihood that they are affected by the proposed fishery;
    (e) information from other fisheries in the region or similar fisheries in other regions of the world that may facilitate the assessment of potential yield;
    (f) if the proposed fishery is implemented through bottom trawls, information on the known and expected impact on vulnerable ecosystems, including benthos and benthic communities;
    (iii) regarding notifications of participation in the exploratory fisheries of Dissostichus spp. in divisions 58.4.1, 58.4.2 and 58.4.3a and subzone 48.6, prepare and submit to CCAMLR no later than 1 June a research plan for consideration by the Scientific Committee and the Commission. The research plans are submitted in accordance with the provisions set out in Form 2 of Schedule 24-01/A of the 24-01 conservation measure;
    (iv) commit, in its proposal, to implement any data collection plan developed by the Scientific Committee on Fisheries.
    7. Based on the information submitted under paragraph 6 and taking into account the advice and evaluation provided by the Scientific Committee and the Standing Committee on the Application and Compliance of Regulations (SCIC), the Commission will consider annually the adoption of the relevant conservation measures for each exploration fisheries.
    8. The Commission shall not consider the notification of a Member who, as of 1 June, has not submitted the information required in paragraph 6.
    9. If a Member proposing to participate in an exploratory fishery fails to submit a notification of this project to the Commission before the deadline specified in paragraph 6 above, the Member will not authorize, under conservation measure 10-02, vessels flying its flag to participate in the proposed fishing activities.
    10. Notwithstanding paragraph 8, Members are empowered, under conservation measure 10-02, to authorize the participation in an exploratory fishery of a vessel other than that identified by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 6, if the notified ship is unable to participate for legitimate operational reasons or for force majeure. In such circumstances, the Member concerned shall immediately inform the secretariat by providing:
    (i) any details of the vessel(s) to replace it as indicated in paragraph 6 (i);
    (ii) a detailed description of the reasons for the replacement of the vessel and all supporting references or evidence;
    iii) the specifications and complete description of the types of fishing gear that the replacement vessel will use.
    10. The secretariat immediately distributes this information to all Members.
    11. When the proposed Exploratory Fisheries includes substantive fishing activities, the Member will not authorize, under conservation measure 10-02, vessels flying its flag to participate in proposed substantive fishing activities if the procedures set out in paragraph 8 of conservation measure 22-06 have not been fully complied with.
    12. Members whose vessels conduct exploratory fishing activities in accordance with paragraphs 6 and/or 10 shall:
    (i) use only the types of fishing gear specified in paragraph 6(ii)(b) of the Fishing Operations Plan for the vessel that has been notified, or in paragraph 10(iii) for any replacement vessel;
    (ii) prohibit their ship(s) from using types of gear other than those reported for a fishing season, unless this change of gear is necessary to meet research approved by the Scientific Committee for that vessel during the particular season;
    (iii) ensure that their ships are equipped and configured so that they comply with all relevant conservation measures;
    (iv) ensure that all vessels embark a scientific observer scientific observer appointed under the CCAMLR to collect data in accordance with the Data Collection Plan and to assist in the collection of biological data and other useful data;
    (v) submit annually to the CCAMLR (by the date agreed) the data specified in the Data Collection Plan;
    (vi) be required to stop the relevant exploratory fishery if the data specified in the Data Collection Plan have not been submitted to the CCAMLR for the last fishing season, until such data has been submitted and the Scientific Committee has not had the opportunity to review them.
    13. A vessel on one of the INN Lists established under conservation measures 10-06 and 10-07 is prohibited from fishing in exploratory fisheries.
    14. Requests for participation in the exploratory fisheries, under the above provisions, are subject to a fee recovery system and will therefore be accompanied by a payment, the amount and component of which will remain repayable by the Commission which will also have to determine the terms and conditions.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. (2) Except for waters adjacent to the Prince Edward Islands.

    Steps and frequency of observations
    Volume of the tank:
    At the beginning of the fishing: Measure the width and length of the tank (if it is not rectangular, other measures may be necessary; precision ±0.05 m).
    Every month (1): Estimate the volume conversion by weight on the basis of drained krill weight in a known volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken in the tank.
    All features: Measure the krill height in the vat (if the krill is kept in the vat between the lines, measure the height difference; accuracy ±0.1 m) Estimate the bright weight of the captured krill (by equation).
    Debitmeter:
    Before fishing: Check that the flowmeter measures the whole krill (i.e. before processing).
    Every month (1): Estimate the volume conversion by weight (ρ) based on the drained krill weight in a known volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken on the flow meter.
    All traits (2): Get a sample of the flowmeter and:


    - measure the combined volume (e.g. 10 litres) of krill and water;
    - estimate the correction of the volume obtained by flowmeter based on the volume of drained krill Estimate the sharp weight of the captured krill (by equation).


    Belt balance:
    Before fishing: Verify that the belt balance measures the whole krill (i.e. before processing).
    All traits (2): Get a sample of the belt balance and:


    - Measuring the combined weight of krill and water;
    - estimate the correction of the volume obtained by belt balance on the basis of the drained krill weight Estimate the sharp weight of the captured krill (by equation).


    Plateau :
    Before fishing: Peser the tray (if the trays are variable in shape, weigh one of each type; precision ±0.1 kg).
    All features:
    Measure the combined weight of krill and tray (precision ±0.1 kg).
    Count the number of trays used (if the trays are variable, count them by type).
    Estimate the bright weight of the captured krill (by equation).
    Transformation into flour:
    Every month (1): Estimate the processing of flour into whole krill by treating 1 000 to 5,000 kg (drained weight) of whole krill.
    All features:
    Peser the flour produced.
    Estimate the bright weight of the captured krill (by equation).
    Volume of the trawl ass:

    Article 1
    Description of gauges


    1. The gauges to be used to determine the size of the sts must be indeformable, 2 mm thick, flat, and a resistant material. They have either a series of parallel sides connected by intermediary fuse edges according to a convergence ratio of one to eight on each side, or only converging edges under this same report. They have an orifice at the narrowest end.
    2. The width in millimeters shall be marked on the front of each gauge, if any, on the side side side and on the part in a fuse. For the latter, the width will be recorded every millimeter and will be indicated at regular intervals.


    Article 2
    Use of gauge


    1. The net is stretched in the direction of the longest diagonal of the sts.
    2. A gauge that meets the description in section 1 is inserted by its narrowest end in the opening of the mesh, perpendicular to the net plane.
    3. The gauge will be inserted into the opening of the mesh either at the strength of the wrist or using a weight or dynamometer until it is stopped by the mesh resistance against the converging edges.


    Article 3
    Selection of measuring sts


    1. The measuring sts shall form a series of 20 consecutive sts taken in the direction of the axial length of the net.
    2. The sts within 50 cm of the lacing, ropes or the ass line shall not be measured. This distance shall be measured perpendicular to lacing, ropes and ass line, stretching the net in the direction of measurement. Nor will the sts that are raccommodated or torn, as well as those that are used to attach accessories to the net, be measured.
    3. By derogation from paragraph 1, measured sts must not necessarily be consecutive if the application of paragraph 2 makes the thing impossible.
    4. The nets should be measured only when wet and not frozen.


    Article 4
    Measurement of each mesh


    The size of each mesh is defined by the width of the gauge at its stopping point when used in accordance with section 2.


    Article 5
    Determination of net mesh


    1. The net mesh is defined by the arithmetic mean, in millimetres, of the measurements of the total number of selected and measured sts according to the methods described in Articles 3 and 4, the arithmetic mean being rounded to the upper millimetres.
    2. The total number of measuring sts is provided for in Article 6.


    Article 6
    Sequence of the control procedure


    1. The inspector will measure a series of 20 sts, selected according to section 3, by inserting the gauge manually without using neither weight nor dynamometer.
    The mesh is then determined in accordance with Article 5.
    If the calculations on the size of the sts show that it does not appear to be in compliance with the regulations in force, two additional series of 20 sts selected in accordance with Article 3 are then measured. The size of the mesh will then be recalculated in accordance with Article 5, taking into account the 60 mesh already measured. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, this size of mesh will be that of the net.
    2. If the master of the vessel contests the mesh determined in accordance with paragraph 1, this measure is not retained for the determination of the mesh and the net is again measured.
    A weight or dynamometer attached to the gauge is used for the new measurement. The choice of weight or dynamometer is left at the inspector's discretion.
    The weight is attached, using a hook, to the orifice of the narrowest end of the gauge. The dynamometer can be fixed either at the orifice of the narrowest end of the gauge, or at the widest end of the gauge.
    The accuracy of the weight or dynamometer shall be certified by the competent national authority.
    For nets of a mesh equal to or less than 35 mm, determined in accordance with paragraph 1, a force of 19,61 Newtons (equivalent to a mass of 2 kilograms) is applied and, with respect to other nets, a force of 49,03 Newtons (equivalent to a mass of 5 kilograms).
    To determine the size of the mesh in accordance with Article 5 using a weight or dynamometer, a series of only 20 mesh is measured.

    Machinery
    The Commission,
    Concerned about the visual observations of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing vessels (INN fishing) carrying out activities in the Convention area through scoring nets,
    Wishing, moreover, that high-net fishing in the area of the Convention and ghost fishing by nets lost or released to the sea have serious harmful effects on the marine environment and on many species of living marine resources,
    Acknowledging the large number of non-target species, sharks and rays in particular, killed by the high-season fishery with a scoring net, and deeply concerned about its impact on their populations,
    Desiring to make it clear to the international community that the Commission considers that high-level fishing with a scoring net is a potentially destructive method, and a practice that may undermine the Commission's ability to achieve its conservation objectives,
    Noting that any application for scientific research is subject to the conditions of conservation measure 24-01,
    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:


    1. The use of scoring nets (1) in the area of the Convention, for purposes other than scientific research, is prohibited until the Scientific Committee has examined the potential impact of this equipment, has reported its findings and the Commission has decided, on the basis of the opinion of the Scientific Committee, that this method could be used in the area of the Convention.
    2. The use of scoring nets for scientific research will be permitted subject to the provisions of conservation measure 24-01.
    3. Any vessel seeking to transit through the Convention area and carrying scoring nets with a cumulative total surface of more than 100 m2 shall notify in advance of its intention, including the dates to which it should cross the Convention area and the planned route to the secretariat. Any vessel in possession of scoring nets with a cumulative total surface of more than 100 m2 in the Convention area, which has not transmitted a prior notification, will be in contravention of this conservation measure.

    (1) Thin nets are single, double or triple mesh nets positioned vertically near the surface, between two waters or on the bottom, in which fish, held at the gill level, entangled or intermingled. The eye nets are equipped with floats mounted on the rope bordering the top of the net (higher line) and, in general, the rope bordering the bottom of the net (lower line) is equipped with ballasts. The stitching nets are made of a tablecloth of stitches or, which is less common, of two napples or three superimposed napples (filets also known as "tremail") that are mounted on the same ralings. The same fishing gear can be made up of several types of nets (e.g., a tremail can be used with a high net). These nets can be used alone or, which is more common, positioned online in a group ("network"). The gear can be calibrated, anchored at the bottom or deriving, free or connected to the vessel.

    The Commission,
    Recognizing the commitment made by Members to implement precautionary and ecosystem approaches in fisheries management in accordance with the conservation principles stipulated in Article II of the Convention,
    Recognizing the urgent need to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) from bottom fishing activities that have a significant negative impact on these ecosystems,
    Noting that UN General Assembly resolution 61/105, adopted on 8 December 2006, urges fisheries management organizations or other arrangements authorized to regulate bottom fisheries, to adopt and implement measures to protect MVs from the significant negative impacts of bottom fisheries, and noting, furthermore, that all members of CCAMLR have joined a consensus under which this Resolution was adopted,
    Noting also the importance of article IX of the Convention, including the use of the best available scientific information,
    Acknowledging the steps already taken by CCAMLR to address the impact of scoring net fishing operations and deep-sea trawling in the Convention area, through the application of conservation measures 22-04 and 22-05, respectively,
    Recognizing that the CCAMLR has responsibilities for the conservation of the living marine resources of the Antarctic, including, inter alia, the characteristics of a regional fisheries management organization,
    Noting that all conservation measures are published on the CCAMLR site,
    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:
    Management of bottom fisheries


    1. This conservation measure is applicable to areas in the Convention area south of 60°S and the rest of the Convention area, with the exception of sub-zones and divisions in which an established fishery was in place in 2006/07 with a catch limit greater than zero.
    2. This conservation measure is also applicable to the statistical division 58.4.1 area north of 60°S.
    3. For the purposes of this measure, the term "sensitive marine ecosystems" within the framework of the CCAMLR means, inter alia, highlands, hydrothermal fireplaces, cold water corals and sponge fields.
    4. For the purposes of this measure, the term "substance fishing activities" refers to the use of all equipment that affects the seabed.
    5. Contracting Parties whose vessels wish to conduct substantive fishing operations will follow the procedures described in paragraphs 7 to 11 below.
    6. Contracting Parties shall only authorize vessels flying their flag to participate in bottom fishing activities under the provisions of this conservation measure and those of the conservation measure 10-02. In particular, notwithstanding the timely submission of a notification of intent to participate in a new fishery in accordance with Conservation Measure 21-01 or to participate in an exploratory fishery under Conservation Measure 21-02, Contracting Parties shall not authorize, under Conservation Measure 10-02, vessels flying their flag to participate in the substantive fishing activities if:


    (i) a preliminary assessment was not submitted to the Scientific Committee and the Commission at least three months before the annual meeting of the Commission, in accordance with paragraph 7 (i); or
    (ii) The Commission shall determine, on the basis of the advice and recommendations of the Scientific Committee and in accordance with paragraph 7 (ii), that the proposed substantive fishing activities should not be carried out.


    Assessment of bottom fishing
    7. All substantive fishing activities will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee, based on the best available scientific information, to determine whether, on the basis of the background fishing history in the proposed sectors, they would contribute to the significant adverse effects on MEAs and to ensure, if it is determined that these activities would have such an impact, to ensure that they are managed in a manner that prevents these effects or to ensure that they are not allowed to start. The evaluation procedure will be as follows:


    (i) Each Contracting Party proposing to participate in substantive fishing activities shall submit to the Scientific Committee and the Commission information and an initial assessment, on the basis of the form of Annex 22-06/A and with the best available data, the known impact and the alleged impact of its substantive fishing activities on MMEs, including benthos and benthic communities, at least three months before the annual meeting of the Commission. In these submissions will also include the mitigation measures proposed by the Contracting Party to prevent these impacts.
    (ii) The Scientific Committee shall conduct an assessment, following the procedures and standards it has established, and shall provide advice to the Commission on the possibility that proposed substantive fishing activities contribute to the significant negative impacts on MEAs and, if so, if proposed mitigation measures, or additional measures, would prevene such effects. The Scientific Committee may use, for its assessments, other information available to it, including information on other fisheries in the region or fisheries of the same type, in other regions. The Scientific Committee shall not review or render any opinion on any preliminary evaluation provided after the submission deadline for the preliminary evaluations set out in paragraph 7 (i).
    (iii) The Commission, taking into account the views and recommendations of the Scientific Committee on the substantive fishing activities, as well as the data and information from the statements made under paragraph 7, adopts conservation measures to prevent the significant adverse effects on MEVs, which, under the circumstances:


    (a) authorize, prohibit or restrict bottom fishing activities in certain sectors;
    (b) require mitigation measures specific to bottom fishing activities;
    (c) authorize, prohibit or restrict bottom fishing activities with certain types of gear; and/or
    (d) contain any other relevant conditions or restrictions to prevent significant negative impacts on MEVs.


    VME observation
    8. Annex 22-06/B provides instructions specifying the categories of information to be included in the notification that Contracting Parties are to submit to the secretariat following a discovery of EMS evidence that has not yet been declared under conservation measure 22-07.
    9. Contracting Parties, in the absence of site-specific conservation measures, or any other conservation measures to avoid any significant negative impact on MVs, require vessels flying their flag to cease their substantive fishing activities in areas where they would encounter MV evidence and, where appropriate, to report them to the secretariat under the capture and fishing effort reporting system (preservation measures 23-02, 23-01, 23-03, 23-07, 23-03, 23-03
    10. The Scientific Committee renders advice to the Commission on the known or presumed effects of bottom fishing activities on MVs and recommends practical measures, such as, if necessary, the cessation of fishing activities, when the evidence of an MV is found during bottom fishing activities. In light of this view, the Commission adopts conservation measures to be applied in the event of observation of an MVD during substantive fishing activities.
    Monitoring and control of bottom fishing activities
    11. Notwithstanding the obligations of Members under conservation measure 21-02, all Contracting Parties whose vessels participate in the substantive fishing activities:


    (i) ensure that their ships are equipped and configured so that they comply with all relevant conservation measures;
    (ii) ensure that each vessel carries at least one scientific observer designated under the CCAMLR to collect data under this conservation measure and other relevant measures;
    (iii) submit data in accordance with data collection plans for bottom fisheries to be prepared by the Scientific Committee and inserted into conservation measures;
    (iv) cease their activities in the relevant substantive fishery if the data requested by the conservation measures with respect to the said bottom fishery were not submitted to the CCAMLR pursuant to paragraph 11 (iii) for the last season during which fishing activities took place, as long as the data in question were not submitted to the CCAMLR and the Scientific Committee had no opportunity to examine them.


    12. The secretariat compiles an annual list of vessels authorized to fish under this conservation measure and the place on the CCAMLR site, on a public access page.
    Data collection and exchange and scientific research
    13. The Scientific Committee, on the basis of the best available scientific information, advises the Commission on where, or where, MEVs are located, and advises on possible mitigation measures. The Contracting Parties shall communicate to the Scientific Committee all available information that may assist it in its task. The secretariat maintains an inventory of all MEVs known in the Convention area with digital maps to be transmitted to all Contracting Parties and other relevant bodies.
    14. Scientific research on bottom fishing, notified under paragraph 2 of the 24-01 conservation measure, will be conducted in accordance with this measure and will be conducted in accordance with the MMEs that may be affected by it. Scientific research on bottom fishing, notified under paragraph 3 of the 24-01 conservation measure, will be treated in accordance with all the provisions of paragraph 9 of this conservation measure, notwithstanding the procedures referred to in the 24-01 conservation measure. In accordance with the current reporting requirements, as specified in paragraph 4 of the 24-01 Conservation Measure, information on the location and type of any MMEs encountered during the scientific research on bottom fisheries will be reported to the secretariat.
    Evaluation
    15. This conservation measure will be considered at the next regular meeting of the Commission on the basis of the conclusions reached by the Scientific Committee. In addition, from 2009 and every two years thereafter, the Commission will consider the effectiveness of the relevant conservation measures in protecting MVs against significant negative impacts, based on the advice of the Scientific Committee.

    The Commission,
    Noting the commitment of Members to avoid significant negative impacts of bottom fishing activities on vulnerable marine ecosystems (MEAs),
    Taking into account the prohibition of bottom trawling imposed by Conservation Measure 22-05 and the prohibition of high-seas fishing with the scoring net, by Conservation Measure 22-04 in the high seas areas of the Convention Area,
    Acknowledging the need to implement the precautionary approach in the management of bottom fisheries for MVs due to the difficulty of acquiring data on their location, scope and risk of significant negative impacts,
    Noting also the need to acquire additional data to contribute to evaluations and advice on the application of a long-term precautionary approach to avoid significant negative impacts on MEVs,
    adopts this conservation measure pursuant to Article IX of the Convention and the conservation measure 22-06:
    Area


    1. This conservation measure applies to the same sectors as conservation measure 22-06.
    Definitions
    1. The following definitions apply to this conservation measure:


    (i) For "vestible marine ecosystems" (VME) and "bottom fishing activities" see paragraphs 3 and 4 of the conservation measure 22-06.
    (ii) By "an indicator organism of VME" means any benthic organism contained in the CCAMLR Taxon Identification Guide (3).
    (iii) "VME indicator unit" means either a litre of VME indicator organisms that can be placed in a 10 litre container, or a kilogram of VME indicator organisms whose size does not allow them to be placed in a 10 litre container.
    (iv) The "line segment" means a section of line containing 1,000 hameçons or a section of line of 1,200 m long, depending on the shortest of the two, and for the chains of lockers, a part of line of 1,200 m long.
    (v) By "threatening sector", there is an area in which at least 10 MVD indicator units were obtained on the same line segment. This area is included within a radius of 1 nautical mile from the central point (4) of the line segment on which VME indicator units were obtained. It is possible, however, that under their national legislation, Members require their ships to consider that the area under threat is broader.


    Conditions imposed on ships
    3. Members will demand from their ships that they clearly mark, on the fishing lines, the different segments and that they collect data per segment to obtain the number of MEV units.
    4. Members will require their ships, in the case of obtaining at least 10 MEV indicator units on a line segment, to complete without delay the turn of any line crossing a threatened area and no longer lay lines that would cross the threatened area. The vessel immediately communicates to the secretariat and to the State of which it flags the location of the central point of the line segment on which the MVD indicator units were obtained, as well as the number of MVD indicator units obtained.
    5. Members will require their ships, in the case of obtaining at least five MVD indicator units on a line segment, to immediately communicate to the secretariat (5) and to the State of which they flag the location of the central point of the line segment on which the MVD indicator units were obtained, as well as the number of MV units obtained.
    Management
    6. Upon receipt of a notification under paragraph 4, the secretariat shall:


    (i) registers the area under threat;
    (ii) on the first business day following the receipt of the notification, notify all fishing vessels concerned and States whose flag they are flying that the threatened area is closed to fishing, and that, as in paragraph 4, all vessels must immediately cease to lay lines that would cross the threatened area.


    7. Upon receipt of five notifications under subsection 5 with respect to the same rectangle (6) on a specific scale, the secretariat, on the first working day following receipt of the fifth notification, shall notify all fishing vessels concerned and the States in which they flag the coordinates of the rectangle on a specific scale, indicating that MVs may be present in the area. Vessels may continue fishing in the area under paragraphs 4 and 5.
    Data
    8. Ships will be required to report, in accordance with conservation measure 23-07, all the benthos recovered every day. To the extent possible, VME indicator units for each line segment and the central point of each of these segments, including zero captures, for all lines should be reported in the specific scale data.
    Evaluation
    9. A threatened area is closed to any fishing until it has been assessed by the Scientific Committee and the Commission has not established management measures. Scientific research is authorized in areas under threat, as agreed by the Scientific Committee.
    The Commission will consider this conservation measure in 2012, based on the data of the observers, ships and other collected data, the results of the deliberations of the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM) and the Working Group on the Assessment of Fish Stocks (WG-FSA) and in accordance with the advice of the Scientific Committee.

    This conservation measure is adopted under conservation measure 31-01, if applicable:


    1. For the application of this capture and fishing effort reporting system, the calendar month is divided into six reporting periods: from 1 to 5th day, from 6 to 10th day, from 11 to 15th day, from 16th to 20th day, from 21st to 25th day, and from 26th to last day of the month. These reporting periods are now designated as periods A, B, C, D, E and F.
    2. At the end of each reporting period, any Contracting Party shall obtain from each of its vessels its total capture of all species, including by-catch species, and the total of fishing days and hours corresponding to that period and, by fax or e-mail, transmit to the Executive Secretary the cumulative capture and fishing days and hours of its ships. Catch and fishing effort data must be provided to the Executive Secretary no later than two (2) working days after the end of the reporting period. In the case of palangre fisheries, the number of hooks must also be reported. In the case of record fisheries, the number of lockers must also be reported.
    3. Each contracting party engaged in the fisheries must submit a report for each reporting period for the duration of the fishing, even if no capture has been made. A contracting party may authorize each of its ships to report directly to the secretariat.
    4. These reports must specify the month and reporting period (A, B, C, D, E or F) to which each report corresponds.
    5. Immediately after the deadline for receipt of reports for each period, the Executive Secretary shall notify all contracting parties engaged in fishing activities in the area of the total capture during the reporting period, the cumulative total capture during the season to that date, and an estimate of the date on which the eligible total of captures is likely to be reached for the current season. In the case of exploratory fisheries, the Executive Secretary also notifies the total capture for the season up to that date in each small-scale research unit (SSRU), as well as an estimate of the date on which the eligible total of captures is likely to be reached in each SSRU for the current season. The estimates will be based on a projection of the daily capture rate trend calculated by applying linear regression techniques to the most recent capture statements.
    6. Once the six reporting periods have been completed, the Executive Secretary shall inform all contracting parties of the total capture carried out during the last six reporting periods, the total capture accumulated to date for the season and the date on which it is estimated that the total allowable capture should be achieved for the current season.
    7. If the expected date of the total allowable capture is within five days of the date of receipt of the statement of captures by the secretariat, the Executive Secretary shall inform all contracting parties of the closure of the fishery on the scheduled day, or on the day on which the report is received, as the case may be the last. In the case of exploratory fisheries, if the expected date of capture is within five days from the date of receipt of the statement of captures by the secretariat, the Executive Secretary shall also inform all contracting parties and, if authorized, the fishing vessels concerned, that the fishing in this RMS will be prohibited from the calculated day, or on the day of receipt of the declaration, as the case may be the last.
    8. Any Contracting Party, or any ship authorized to report directly to the secretariat, which would not transmit its declaration in the prescribed form and within the time limits specified in paragraph 2 to the Executive Secretary, would be sent by the Executive Secretary a reminder letter. Then, once two periods of five days or, in the case of exploratory fisheries, a period of five days if the Executive Secretary has not yet received these data, he shall notify all Contracting Parties of the closure of the fishery to the vessel of the Contracting Party that has not transmitted the required data, which requires its vessel to cease any fishing. If the contracting party informs the Executive Secretary that technical difficulties have prevented the Secretary from making the declaration, the vessel will be allowed to resume fishing activities as soon as the declaration or reasons for the non-declaration are forwarded to the secretariat.

    (b) In the event that a search would be conducted in a sector (3) with a zero cap limit, capturing under subsections 2 or 3 below would be considered as the cap limit for the season in that area. When such a sector falls within a group of sectors to which a general caption is applied, this general caption limit will not be exceeded and captures for research purposes will be deducted.
    2. Application to members capturing less than 50 tonnes of fish in a season with a maximum quantity specified in Appendix 24-01/B for fish taxa and less than 0.1% of a given capturing limit of taxa other than fish listed in Appendix 24-01/B:
    (a) Any member intending to use one or more vessels to undertake research for scientific purposes, where seasonal capture estimates correspond to the amount mentioned above, in fact, through the form provided in Appendix 24-01/A, to the secretariat of the Commission which, in turn, shall notify all Members immediately.
    (b) The vessels referred to in paragraph 2 (a) above are exempt from conservation measures relating to the size of the mesh, the prohibition of certain types of gear, the closure of areas, fishing seasons and size limits, and the reporting requirements other than those referred to in paragraph 4 below.
    With respect to krill and fish, this paragraph does not apply to captures of less than 1 ton.
    3. Application to members capturing more than 50 tonnes of fish, including a maximum quantity specified in Appendix 24-01/B for fish taxa and less than 0.1% of a given caption limit of taxa other than fish listed in Appendix 24-01/B:
    (a) Any member intending to use one or more vessels, regardless of the type, to conduct fishing operations for scientific purposes, where seasonal capture estimates correspond to the amount mentioned above, in fact referred to the Commission to allow other members to review and comment on this research plan. This plan is forwarded to the secretariat which distributes it to members at least six months before the expected date for the start of the research. In the event of an application for a review of this plan filed within two months of its release, the Executive Secretary shall notify all members of the plan and submit the plan to the Scientific Committee. The scientific committee is based on the research plan presented and any opinions rendered by the working group concerned to render its opinion to the Commission that concludes the review. The planned fishing campaign for scientific research cannot be undertaken until the examination is completed.
    (b) Research plans are submitted in accordance with the standard guidelines and forms adopted by the Scientific Committee and described in Appendix 24-01/A.
    (c) Any fishing vessel (4) carrying out fishing activities for research purposes must have on board, for the duration of fishing activities carried out during the fishing period, at least two scientific observers, one of whom has been appointed in accordance with the CCAMLR international scientific observation system.
    4. The reporting requirements for these research activities are as follows:
    (a) The CCAMLR reporting system per five-day period during the season is applicable, except in: (i) fish exploration fisheries, in which the daily reporting system (preservation measure 23-07) is applicable; (ii) Exploratory krill fisheries, in which the day-to-day reporting system specified in conservation measure 51-04 is applicable; and (iii) other krill fisheries with a catch limit greater than zero, in which the daily reporting system specified in conservation measure 23-06 is applicable.
    (b) All research captures are reported to CCAMLR as part of STATLANT annual returns.
    (c) The assessment of any research conducted in accordance with the above-mentioned provisions shall be communicated to the secretariat within 180 days of the completion of such research fishing operations. Members submit a full report within 12 months to the Scientific Committee for consideration and comments.
    (d) The capture, fishing and biological data from scientific fishing operations are reported to the secretariat on the following forms of reporting by line:
    (i) Fisheries vessels conducting fishing operations for research purposes under this conservation measure or conservation measure 21-02 report capture and fishing effort data in accordance with conservation measure 23-04 (Form C1 for trawling fisheries, Form C2 for grazing fisheries, or Form C5 for record fisheries) and biological data in accordance with the conservation measure 23-05.
    (ii) Vessels conducting trawling assessment campaigns under this conservation measure declare capture, fishing effort and biological data in the reporting format applicable to research vessels (C4) and are no longer required to complete the C1 data sheet.
    5. The other requirements for these research activities are:
    (a) All vessels engaged in fishing activities under the exemption for research, during an exit during which commercial fishing activities are carried out, must be linked to an automatic monitoring system for satellite vessels in accordance with conservation measure 10-04.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands (2) Except for waters adjacent to Prince Edward Island (3) Any management sector, including sub-zone, division, or SSRU, for which a zero capture limit has been set. (4) In the case of krill research carried out by fishing vessels, it will be considered that the presence on board qualified scientific researchers is necessary to carry out the notified research plan. In areas for which there is still no krill capture limit, under conservation measure 51-04, the presence on board another scientist, a member other than the researcher, is deemed to meet the conditions referred to in paragraph 3 (c). Where krill research is to be carried out in areas where capturing limits are in force, the vessel shall have on board at least one scientific observer appointed in accordance with the international scientific observation system of the CCAMLR or at least one scientific observer appointed by the Contracting Party to meet the requirements of paragraph 3 (c).

    Reduction of the accidental mortality of seabirds during the experimental or non-experimental hog fishery in the Convention area


    Species Seabirds

    SeasonsAll
    EngineeringPalangre
    The Commission,
    Noting the need to reduce the accidental mortality of seabirds during fishing activities by decreasing the attraction of fishing vessels on these birds and by preventing them from seizing the hatches, especially when laying the lines,
    Acknowledging that in some sub-zones and divisions in the Convention area, there is also a high risk that seabirds will be caught during the rise of the clam,
    Adopts the following measures to reduce the risk of accidental mortality of seabirds in fishing activities:


    1. The fishing operations will be conducted in such a way that once watered, the lines supporting the hooks (3) will be immersed as soon as possible to be out of reach of seabirds.
    2. Vessels using automatic palangra systems will need to add lests to the lines supporting the hooks or use self-marked lines when they deploy their hogs. It is recommended to use self-guided lines with a minimum of 50 g/m or non-automated lines with a weight of 5 kg each 50 to 60 m.
    3. Vessels using the Spanish Palangra fishing method shall release weights before the line is tense; traditional ballasts (4) of at least 8.5 kg shall be used at intervals not exceeding 40 m, or traditional ballasts 4 of at least 6 kg, at intervals not exceeding 20 m, or solid steel ballasts (5) of at least 5 kg, at intervals not exceeding 40 m.
    4. Ships using exclusively the trotline type system (which do not combine it with the Spanish system on the same palangre) will only use ballast at the distal end of the vertical lines of the palangre. Lests will be traditional lest than 6 kg or solid steel lest than 5 kg. Vessels alternately using the Spanish type system and the trotline type method will use: (i) With respect to the Spanish system: from the line conforming to the provisions referred to in subsection 3(ii), and with respect to the trotline type method: a line removal either by traditional 8.5 kg lets, or by solid steel lets of 5 kg fixed at the end of the vertical lines, where the hatches are located, less than 80 m apart (6).
    5. The palangres shall be laid only at night (i.e., in darkness, between nautical dusks (7) (8). During the laying of the clams at night, only the lights of the vessel ensuring safety must be used.
    6. Discharge at sea of plant waste (10) and discharge of fishing (11) are prohibited during the laying of palangres. The release of factory waste at sea during the rise of the palangra must be avoided. Plant waste releases can only take place on the opposite edge of the one where the palangres are raised. For vessels or fisheries that are not subject to any condition that the waste must remain on board the vessel, a system must be established to ensure the removal of all waste axes before any discharge to the sea.
    7. Ships whose configuration is such that they do not allow them to process or store factory waste on board, or to reject them on the opposite side of the rise of the palangre, shall not be allowed to fish in the Convention area.
    8. A banner line must be deployed during the laying of the hogs to deter birds from approaching the line supporting the hatches. The detailed configuration of the banner line and its deployment method are illustrated in Appendix 25-02/A.
    9. A bird scarring device (BED) intended to deter seabirds from taking baits during the rise of palangres will be used, to the extent that weather conditions permit, in areas that, according to the CCAMLR, have a level of risk either moderate to high or high (risk level 4 or 5) with respect to the accidental capture of the sea. These regions are currently comprised of statistical subzones 48.3, 58.6 and 58.7 and statistical divisions 58.5.1 and 58.5.2. The BED directives are listed in Appendix 25-02/B. Vessels fishing in medium- and low-risk areas (risk level 1-3) are encouraged to use BED devices during the lifting of palangers.
    10. Efforts should be made to release alive the birds caught during the clam fishing operations and, to the extent possible, to remove the hooks without endangering the life of the birds concerned.
    11. Other alternatives to accidental capture mitigation measures may be tested on vessels carrying two observers, at least one of which would be appointed in accordance with the CCAMLR's international scientific observation system, subject to compliance with all other provisions of this conservation measure (9). Complete proposals for such experiments should be notified to the working group on the assessment of fish stocks (WG-FSA) prior to the fishing season in which they would be conducted.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. (2) Except for waters adjacent to the Prince Edward Islands. (3) We mean by line supporting the hooks the bottom line or mother line to which baited hooks are attached by forwards. (4) Traditional bales are made of stones or concrete. (5) Solid steel ballasts are not made of chain links. They must be made of hydrodynamic form to flow quickly. (6) Acknowledging that the Spanish-type hoists with spans of 40 m of interval are generally configured with lines located at 80 m of interval that connect the mother line and the lines supporting the hooks (see diagram in Appendix 25-02/C). These connecting lines are the vertical lines of the trotline method. (7) The exact time of nautical dusks is listed in the tables of the nautical almanach for all latitudes and local hours and for every day. A copy of the calculation algorithm for these hours is available from the CCAMLR Secretariat. All times mentioned, whether for the ship's operations or for the observers' statements, must be given by indicating the difference with GMT. (8) To the extent possible, the lines are not laid for three or more hours prior to sunrise (to reduce bait by white chin and capture of these birds). (9) Test mitigation measures must be established and used in full compliance with the principles set out in WG-FSA-03/22 (the published version of which is available from the CCAMLR secretariat and on the website); testing must be conducted independently of commercial fishing operations, in the spirit of conservation measure 21-02. (10) "plant waste" means baits and products derived from the treatment of fish and other organisms, including pieces of fish or organisms derived from the treatment. (11) For the purposes of this conservation measure, "fishing discharges" means whole fish or other organisms, with the exception of elasmobranches and invertebrates, released to the sea, when the fishing vessel in the north of 60°S, died or with little chance of survival, as described in form L5 of the observer's notebook.


    ANNEX 25-02/A


    1. The aerial range of the banner line, namely the part of the line to which the banners are attached, is in fact the deterrent element of a banner line. Ships are encouraged to extend to the maximum this air section to ensure that it protects the line supporting the hatches as far as possible behind the vessel, even through winds.
    2. The banner line is fixed to the vessel in such a way that it is suspended to the stern, at a point at a minimum of 7 m above the water, on the wind side as compared to the submerge point of the line supporting the baits.
    3. The banner line is at a minimum length of 150 m and must tow an object at its far end of the vessel to create a voltage that would give it the maximum air cover. The towed object is maintained directly behind the attachment point to the vessel so that, even in case of crosswinds, the air section of the banner line overlooks the line supporting the hatches.
    4. The banners, each of which consists of two wires consisting of a rope or plastic tube (1) of a minimum of 3 mm diameter, are fixed at not more than 5 m of interval, from 5 m of the connecting point of the line to the vessel, then throughout the air section of the line. The length of the banners is between 6.5 m and 1 m for the furthest. When the banner line is deployed, the banners must be able to reach the surface of the water in the absence of wind or swell. Similar spines or devices are placed on the banner line to prevent the banners from rolling around the banner line. Each banner may also carry a spine or other device similar to its attachment point with the banner line, to prevent the banners from intermingling.
    5. Ships are encouraged to deploy a second line of banners so that a banner line is towed from the attachment point, on each side of the line supporting the hooks. The strip line under the wind presents the same specifications (in order to avoid weighting, the strip line under the wind may need to be shorter) and deployed on the side under the wind of the line supporting the hatches.

    (1) The plastic tube must be resistant to ultraviolet rays.

    1. It has been shown that BEDs have two main operational features (1):
    (i) Decorate birds to fly directly into the area where the line is risen;
    (ii) Prevent birds that are placed on the surface of the water from moving towards the corner area.
    2. Thus, ships are encouraged to use BEDs demonstrating these two characteristics.

    (1) Examples of BED demonstrating the characteristics described in paragraph 1 above may be obtained from the CCAMLR secretariat or the CCAMLR site.

    The Commission,
    Noting the need to reduce accidental mortality or injuries caused by fishing operations in marine birds and mammals,
    Adopts the following measures to reduce accidental mortality of birds and marine mammals during trawling operations.
    1. The use of net control cables is prohibited on vessels conducting fishing operations in the CAMLR Convention area.
    2. Vessels conducting fishing operations in the Convention area shall, for the duration of their operations, choose light having, by its location and intensity, reduced scope outside the vessel, while ensuring safety on the vessel.
    3. The release of plant waste at sea (2.3) and the discharge of fish (4) are prohibited when the trawl is laying and rising.
    4. The trawlers must be cleaned before the pose to remove anything that could attract birds.
    5. Vessels must adopt filtering and trawling procedures that minimize the amount of time the trawl rests on the surface of the water, loose sts. The maintenance of trawlers must, to the extent possible, be performed when the trawler is not in water.
    6. Ships should be encouraged to develop gear models that reduce as much as possible the possibility that birds hit the trawl sections with the greatest risk to them. It would be appropriate, inter alia, to increase the trawling or reduce the buoyability of the trawl so that it is more rapidly immersed, or to place coloured or other devices on certain parts of the net whose mesh presents a particular danger to birds.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. (2) "plant waste" means baits and products derived from the treatment of fish and other organisms, including pieces of fish or organisms derived from the treatment. (3) The "gelatinous water" is a liquid spilled as a derivative of krill and fish processing processes. Gelatinous water contains no source of food for birds, it is not considered to be a waste of plants (see note 2). (4) For the purposes of this conservation measure, "fishing discharges" means whole fish or other organisms, with the exception of elasmobranches and invertebrates, released to the sea, when the fishing vessel in the north of 60°S, died or with little chance of survival, as described in form L5 of the observer's notebook.

    The Commission,
    Concerned that some fishing activities may affect the marine environment of Antarctica and that these activities have played a significant role in the efforts of CCAMLR to reduce the accidental mortality of non-target species such as seabirds and seals,
    Noting that former CCAMLR recommendations and the provisions of MARPOL 73/78 and its annexes prohibit the release of plastics at sea in the CAMLR Convention area,
    Noting the various provisions of the protocol to the Antarctic Treaty on Environmental Protection, in particular its annexes, as well as the recommendations and related measures of the Consultative Conferences of the Parties to the Treaty on Antarctic,
    Recalling that, for many years, the Scientific Committee has indicated that a considerable number of Kerguelen sea lions were caught in plastic wrappers and were killed in the Convention area,
    Noting the recommendations of the CCAMLR and the provisions of the MARPOL Convention and its annexes that prohibit the release of plastics objects overboard at sea, and that sea lions continue to entangle in wastes,
    Recognizing that it is not necessary to seal the bait boxes used on fishing vessels in particular and any other packaging in general by plastic belts, as there are other processes,
    Adopts the following conservation measure aimed at minimizing the possible effects on the marine environment of fishing activities, in the context of mitigating accidental mortality of non-target species and the protection of the marine environment in accordance with Article IX of the Convention.


    Elimination of plastic packaging belts


    1. The use on plastic packaging belt fishing vessels to seal bait boxes is prohibited.
    2. The use of other plastic packaging belts for other purposes on fishing vessels that do not use on-board incinerators (closed systems) is prohibited.
    3. As soon as the packaging is opened, all belts must be cut into sections of about 30 cm to not form loops and, on the first occasion, burned in the incinerator on board.
    4. All plastic residues must be kept on board the vessel until the vessel reaches a port; in no case shall they be rejected at sea.


    Prohibition of waste disposal in high latitude fisheries


    5. It is prohibited for any vessel conducting fishing operations south of 60°S to discharge at sea or eliminate:

    This conservation measure governs the closure of all fisheries and is adopted under Article IX of the Convention.
    General application:
    1. Following a notification of closure by the secretariat (refer to conservation measures 23-01, 23-02, 23-03 and 41-01), all vessels in the region, area, sub-zone, management division, small-scale research unit or any other management unit subject to the notification of closure will have to remove all their water fishing gear before the date and time of the notified closure.
    2. Upon receipt of such notification by the vessel, the laying of hogs shall cease 24 hours before the date and time of noticeable closure. If this notification is received less than 24 hours before the closing date and time, the laying of palangres shall cease upon receipt of this notification.
    3. All ships leave the closed fishery as soon as the gears get out of the water.
    4. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, if it appears obvious that a vessel will not be able to remove all its fishing gear from the water before the date and time of the notified closure, for such reasons as:
    (i) considerations related to the safety of the vessel and the crew;
    (ii) impediments to difficult weather conditions;
    (iii) sea ice cover; or


    - the need to protect the marine environment of Antarctica,
    - the vessel shall notify the flag State concerned of the situation. The flag State or the ship also advises the secretariat. However, the vessel is making every effort to get its fishing gear out of the water as soon as possible.


    Other relevant considerations:
    5. In the event that the vessel would not be able to remove all its fishing gear from the water before the date and time of the notified closure, the flag State would immediately inform the secretariat. Upon receipt of this information, the secretariat shall promptly inform Members of the information.
    6. If paragraph 5 is applicable, the flag State shall conduct an investigation into the actions of the vessel and, in accordance with its national procedures, shall report on its findings, all relevant matters included, to the Commission no later than its next annual meeting. In this final report, it should be determined whether the vessel has made all the necessary efforts to ensure that all its fishing gear is released from the water:
    (i) on the date and time of the notified closure; and
    (ii) as soon as possible after the notification referred to in paragraph 4.
    7. In the event that a vessel does not leave a closed fishery as soon as all fishing gears are out of the water, the flag State or the vessel will inform the secretariat of the vessel. Upon receipt of this information, the secretariat shall promptly inform Members of the information.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. (2) Except for waters adjacent to the Prince Edward Islands.

    The Commission,
    Recalling the objectives of the Convention, including its Article IX,
    Considering that the International Action Plan for the Conservation and Management of Sharks of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (OAA) calls upon States, within their respective jurisdictions and in accordance with international law, to cooperate through regional fisheries management organizations to ensure the sustainability of shark stocks,
    Considering that many sharks are captured as part of the fisheries conducted in the CCAMLR area and that these captures may not be sustainable,
    Considering further that, pending the collection of information on the status of shark stocks, it is necessary to supervise and, if possible, reduce the levies on these stocks,
    Recognizing the need to collect data on captures, releases and trade to manage and maintain sharks,
    The Commission adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention:
    1. Fishing of any shark species in the Convention area for non-scientific purposes is prohibited. This prohibition is applicable until the Scientific Committee has conducted an assessment and report on the potential impact of this fishing activity and the Commission agrees on this issue based on the advice of the Scientific Committee on the possible existence of such a fishery in the Convention area.

    1. No directed fishing of a species other than Dissostichus eleginoides or Champsocephalus gunnari will be conducted in the statistical division 58.5.2 during the 2013/14 season.
    2. In the directed fisheries of the statistical division 58.5.2 during the 2013/14 season, the incidental capture of Channichthys rhinoceratus will not exceed 150 tons, that of Lepidonotothen squamifrons will not exceed 80 tons, that of Macrourus spp. 360 tons and that of raies 120 tons. For the purpose of applying this measure, "Macrourus spp." and "Raies" are each considered to be a single species.
    3. The incidental capture of any species that is not mentioned in paragraph 2 and for which no limit has been imposed will not exceed 50 tonnes in Statistical Division 58.5.2.
    4. If, in the course of a directed fishing, the incidental capture in a stroke of Channichthys rhinoceratus, Lepidonotothen squamifrons, Macrourus spp., Somniosus spp. or raies is equal to or greater than 2 tons, the vessel will no longer fish by the same mode of fishing in a radius of at least 5 nautical tons (1) of the place where the catch Where accidental capture exceeds 2 tonnes, the route (3) followed by the fishing vessel is defined.
    5. If, in the course of a directed fishing, the incidental capture in a stroke of any other incidental capture species for which limits have been imposed under this conservation measure is equal to or greater than 1 ton, the vessel will no longer fish by the same fishing mode within a radius of at least 5 nautical miles (1) from the place where the incidental capture has exceeded 1 ton for a minimum of five days (2). Where accidental capture exceeds 1 ton, the route3 followed by the fishing vessel is understood.

    (1) This provision concerning the minimum distance between fishing sites is adopted pending the adoption by the Commission of a more precise definition of a fishing place. (2) The specified period is adopted in accordance with the declaration period specified in conservation measure 23-01 pending the adoption of a more appropriate period by the Commission. (3) For a trawl, the route is the place where the fishing gear was first deployed to the place where it was recovered by the fishing vessel. For a hog or a locker, the journey means the place where the first anchor of a pose is dropped to the place where the last anchor of this pose is dropped.

    1. This conservation measure is applicable for the 2013/14 season to new or exploratory fisheries in all sectors divided into small-scale research units (SSRU), with the exception of specific incidental capture limits.
    2. Capture limits applicable to all species of by-catch are specified in Appendix 33-03/A. Within these capture limits, the total capture (3) of the incidental capture species in an RRIS or in several combined RRIS, under the relevant conservation measures, will not exceed the limits below:


    - rays: 5% of the caption limit of Dissostichus spp. or 50 tonnes, depending on the highest limit;
    - Macrourus spp.: 16% of the caption limit of Dissostichus spp. or 20 tonnes, according to the highest limit;
    - all other species combined: 20 tons.


    3. For the purpose of applying this measure, "Macrourus spp." and "Raies" will each be considered as a single species.
    4. On all vessels, all lines must be mounted on board or along the bend system so that any markings can be detected and their condition is assessed. The rectified marked rays, as defined in paragraphs 2 v and vii of Appendix 41-01/C of Conservation Measure 41-01, should not be returned to water. Unless otherwise indicated by scientific observers, all other lively and high probability of survival rays should then be released alive by vessels, by section of the advances and, if possible, by removing the hooks, and their number should be recorded and reported to the secretariat.
    5. If the incidental capture of a species is equal to or greater than 1 ton in any line or pose, the fishing vessel moves to another place of fishing far from at least 5 nautical miles (4). It does not return for five days (5) at least within a radius of 5 nautical miles from the place where the incidental capture has exceeded 1 ton. Where accidental capture exceeds 1 ton, the route (6) followed by the fishing vessel is defined.
    6. If the capture of Macrourus spp. by the same vessel during two periods (7) of 10 days, regardless of whether in the same SSRU, exceeds 1,500 kg in a 10-day period and exceeds 16% of the capture of Dissostichus spp. of the same vessel in that same SSRU during the same period, the vessel ceases fishing in that SSRU for the remainder of the season.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. (2) Except for waters adjacent to the Prince Edward Islands. (3) Total weight captured, except live released individuals. (4) The provision for the minimum distance between fishing sites is adopted pending the Commission's adoption of a more precise definition of a fishing place. (5) The specified period is adopted in accordance with the declaration period specified in conservation measure 23-01 pending the adoption of a more appropriate period by the Commission. (6) For a trawl, the route is the place where the fishing gear was first deployed to the place where it was recovered by the fishing vessel. For a palangre, the journey is the place where the first anchor of a pose is dropped to the place where the last anchor of this pose is dropped. (7) The 10-day periods are defined as follows: 1-10th day, 11th to 20th day, 21st to last day of the month.

    SpeciesLégine
    Diverse areas
    Season2013/14
    Machinery, trawling
    The Commission adopts this conservation measure:
    1. This conservation measure is applicable to trawling or hog exploration fisheries, with the exception of those to which the Commission grants specific exemptions. In trawling fisheries, by trait, a single trawl deployment is understood. In palangre fisheries, by pose, the deployment of one or more palangres is understood at the same fishing site.
    2. The fishery must take place in a geographical and bathymetric interval as wide as possible to provide information that will determine the possibilities of the fishery and avoid too high concentration of catch and fishing effort. To this end, fishing in any small-scale research unit (SSRU) ceases when the reported captures reach the cap limit and this SSRU remains closed to fishing for the remainder of the season.
    3. To give effect to paragraph 2 above:
    (i) for the purpose of reporting capture and fishing effort data, the precise geographic position of a trait in trawling fisheries is determined by the midpoint between the starting and end-of-line points;
    (ii) for the purpose of reporting catch and fishing effort data, the precise geographic position of a wire/bearing turn in palangre fisheries is determined by the central point of the palangre or palangres deployed;
    (iii) It is considered that a vessel conducts fishing operations in an SSRU from the start of the filter to the end of the turn of all the palangres;
    (iv) information on the capture and fishing effort of each species by SSRU shall be reported to the Executive Secretary every day by the capture and daily fishing effort reporting system defined in the conservation measure 23-07;
    (v) the secretariat shall notify the Contracting Parties participating in these fisheries on the one hand, once the combined total capture of Dissostichus eleginoides and Dissostichus mawsoni in an SSRU is likely to exceed the specified capture limit and on the other hand, the closure of this SSRU as soon as the limit is reached (3). The trawl shall not be towed, even partially, in a closed SSRU and no part of the hog shall be placed in a closed SSRU.
    4. The incidental capture of each exploratory fishery will be regulated according to the provisions of conservation measure 33-03.
    5. The total number and weight of the releases of Dissostichus eleginoides and Dissostichus mawsoni, including those responding to the condition of "gelatinous flesh", must be declared.
    6. Any vessel participating in the Exploratory Fisheries of Dissostichus spp. during the 2013/14 season must have on board, for the duration of fishing activities carried out during the fishing season, a scientific observer who has been appointed in accordance with the CCAMLR International Scientific Observation System and, if possible, an additional scientific observer.
    7. The data collection plan (annex 41-01/A), the research plan (annex 41-01/B) and the marking program (annex 41-01/C) will be implemented. The data to be collected in accordance with the so-called Plans for the period ending 31 August 2014 must be reported to the CCAMLR by 30 September 2014 to be available at the meeting of the working group on the evaluation of fish stocks (WG-FSA) in 2014. The data collected after 31 August 2014 will be reported to the CCAMLR within three months of the fishing closure date, but, to the extent possible, will be submitted in time to be considered by the WG-FSA.
    8. Members who, before the beginning of the fishery, decide not to participate in the fishery, must inform the secretariat of the change of their plan no later than one month before the opening of the fishery. If, for any reason, Members are unable to participate in the fishery, they must inform the secretariat no later than one week after they have realized that they could not participate. The secretariat shall inform all Contracting Parties as soon as such notification is received.

    (1) Except for waters adjacent to the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. (2) Except for waters adjacent to the Prince Edward Islands. (3) The closure of the fisheries is governed by conservation measure 31-02.


    ANNEX 41-01/A
    COLLECTION PLAN OF EXPLORATORY DATA


    1. All vessels must comply with the daily capture and fishing effort reporting system (preservation measure 23-07) and the monthly capture, fishing and biological data reporting system on a specific scale (preservation measures 23-04 and 23-05).
    2. The vessel must ensure that on-board observers have a sufficient number of samples to be able to collect all data required under the sampling requirements by observers (available on the CCAMLR website) specified for the current season and described in the CCAMLR Scientific Observer Manual for Fish Fisheries.
    3. Data specific to fishing operations will be collected, including:
    (i) position and depth of the bottom at each end of the palangre for each pose;
    (ii) time of installation and lift and immersion time;
    (iii) number and species of fish lost on the surface;
    (iv) number of hooks laid;
    (v) type of bait;
    (vi) success of bait (%);
    (vii) type of hook.


    Annex 41-01/B
    RESEARCH PLAN FOR EXPLORATORY PASTES


    1. Activities under this research plan are not exempted from existing conservation measures.
    2. This plan is applicable to all small-scale research units (SSRUs) defined in Table 1 and Figure 1.
    3. Unless fishing in statistical sub-zones 88.1 and 88.2, any vessel shall carry out its activities in accordance with the research activities approved by the Scientific Committee for 2013/14. Only research poses will be deployed during these activities (1).
    4. For a trait to be considered a search feature:
    (i) the interval (2) between the search lines shall not be less than 3 nautical miles, which is measured from the geographic midpoint of each search line;
    (ii) any laying of hogs shall include at least 3,500 hameçons and not more than 5,000 hameçons, and may include several separate lines that would be deployed in the same place; any trawl line shall allow for a real fishing of at least 30 minutes, a period defined in the draft Manual of Assessment Campaigns in the bottom trawl area of the Convention (SC-CAMLR-XI, Annex 5, Appendix H, Supplement E, paragraph 4);
    (iii) for any palangre installation, the immersion time - between the end of the filtering process and the beginning of the turn process - must be more than six hours.
    5. In exploratory fisheries, all data specified in the data collection plan (Annex 41-01/A) to this conservation measure must be collected for each of the poses.
    6. The vessel must ensure that the observer has a sufficient number of samples to be able to collect all data required under the Sampling Requirements by the observers specified in the data collection plan (Appendix 41-01/A) for the current season and described in the CCAMLR Scientific Observer Manual for Fish Fisheries.

    (1) Vessels will prioritize research poses in designated research blocks. However, in research blocks where access is limited due to sea ice, the following procedure will be applied: (i) in the event that a vessel attempting to conduct a research fishery in a research block would realize that too few funds are available to allow it to perform research poses, it should then notify the secretariat and attempt to lay its search lines in a buffer zone of a maximum width of a rec (ii) if this buffer zone is also inaccessible due to sea ice, the vessel shall notify the secretariat of it and may then attempt to lay its search lines in an extended buffer zone of a maximum width of two rectangles on a precise scale around the research block, or move to another research block; (iii) if, in the course of a fishery in the buffer zone or in the extended buffer zone, the conditions of the sea ice change so that an area becomes accessible and allows to conduct the research poses in the original search block, the vessel will then have to make additional research poses as a priority in the original search block; (iv) if the search block, the buffer zone and/or the extended buffer zone are inaccessible, the vessel may then move to another designated search block in which the cap limit has not been reached. (2) In the research activities carried out in 2013/14, 50% of the palangra can be spaced by less than 3 nautical miles. Once the exhaustion phase is started in the research activities carried out by Spain in 2013/14, the search palangres will be spaced for less than 3 nautical miles.

    Annex 41-01/C
    DISSOSTICHUS SPP MARKING PROGRAMME. AND RAIES IN EXPLORATORIES


    1. The responsibility to ensure the marking, the recovery of the marks and the correct declaration lies with the flag State of the fishing vessel. The fishing vessel cooperates with the CCAMLR scientific observer to carry out the marking program.
    2. This program is applicable in each exploratory fishery on the palangra and any vessel that participates in more than one exploratory fishery applies the following provisions in each exploratory fishery in which this fishing vessel:
    (i) each palangrier shall mark and release Dissostichus spp., without interruption during fishing activities, at the rate specified in the conservation measure applicable to this fishery under the CCAMLR Marking Protocol (1);
    (ii) The programme covers legions of all sizes to meet the marking conditions. Only fish suitable for marking according to the criteria of the CCAMLR Marking Protocol are marked and released. The observer records the available amount of these fish. The frequency of the lengths of the marked legions shall reflect the frequency of the lengths of the capture (2). Each vessel with more than 10 tonnes of Dissostichus spp. in a fishery will have to reach a minimum statistical level of marking consistency of 60% from 2011/12 (3). All released legions must be marked with two marks and will be released in as wide a geographical area as possible. In the regions frequented by the two species, the marking rate will be proportional to the species and lengths of the Dissostichus spp. specimens present in the captures;
    (iii) it is recommended that Members wishing to mark rays follow the protocols established during the Year of Ladder;
    (iv) all marks of legions and rays used in exploratory fisheries shall be obtained from the secretariat;
    (v) all legions will be examined to determine whether there is a mark. All rays will be returned on board or along the bend system so that any markings can be detected and for their status to be assessed. The fish marked recaptized (i.e., all the fish caught that had been marked in the past) should not be returned to the water, even if they were not released until little time;
    (vi) For redesigned legions, biological sampling (length, weight, sex, gonad development stage) should be carried out and, if possible, take a digital photograph - with mention of the date - of the mark and recovered otoliths, clearly showing the number and colour of the mark;
    (vii) For rectified marked rays, biological sampling (lengths, weight, sex, gonad development stage) should be taken two numerical photographs (with mention of date): one of the entire spine with its mark, the other, a close-up of the mark clearly showing its number and colour.
    3. Legions marked and handed over to water are not counted within capturing limits.
    4. All trademark data and data relevant to the trademark recapture will be reported electronically in format (1) CCAMLR to the executive secretary i by the ship each month with the monthly catch and fishing effort data (C2), and ii by the observer as part of the data required to report (1).
    5. All relevant trademark data, trademark recapture data and specimens (marks and otoliths) from the recapture will be reported electronically in the format (1) CCAMLR to the relevant regional repository of marking data, as specified in the CCAMLR Marking Protocol (available on the CCAMLR website).

    (1) Under the CCAMLR Protocol on Marking in Exploratory Fisheries, available from the secretariat and included in the forms of the journals of scientific observers. (2) Ships can apply this condition by marking an adequate proportion of fish compared to the number of fish recovered along the bend system. For further details, refer to the CCAMLR Protocol on Marking. (3) Consistency statistics () will be calculated as follows: where Pt is the proportion of all fish marked by lots of length i, Pc is the proportion of all fish caught (i.e., the sum of all fish caught and, either landed, marked and handed over to water), by 10 cm long batch.

    Species
    Areas48.3
    Seasons2013/14, 2014/15
    Machinery
    The Commission adopts this conservation measure under conservation measure 31-01:
    Access:
    1. The Dissostichus eleginoides fishery in the statistical subzone 48.3 is carried out by vessels exclusively using hogs and lockers.
    2. For the purposes of this fishery, the open fishing sector is defined as the portion of the statistical subzone 48.3 delimited by latitudes 52° 30'S and 56° 0'S and longitudes 33° 30'W and 48° 0'W.
    3. A map showing the area defined in paragraph 2 is annexed to this conservation measure (Annex 41-02/A). The portion of the statistical subzone 48.3 located outside the area defined above is closed to the Dissostichus eleginoides-led fishing during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons.
    Capture limit:
    4. The total capture of Dissostichus eleginoides in the statistical subzone 48.3 is limited to 2,400 tonnes per season during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons. The caption limit is still subdivided between the management areas listed in Appendix 41-02/A as follows:
    Management area A:0 ton;
    Management area B:720 tons per season;
    Management area C: 1,680 tonnes per season.
    Season:
    5. For the needs of the Dissostichus eleginoides fishery of the statistical subzone 48.3, the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons are the periods between April 16 and August 31 of each season, unless the caption limit is reached earlier, in which case the fishery would cease. For the purposes of the Dissostichus eleginoides record-breaking fishery in the statistical subzone 48.3, the fishing seasons 2013/14 and 2014/15 are the periods between December 1 and November 30, unless the caption limit is reached earlier, in which case the fishery would cease. The 2013/14 fishing season can be extended in two periods:
    (i) start on 6 April 2014 and
    (ii) end on September 14, 2014 for vessels that have demonstrated that they have fully respected conservation measure 25-02 during the previous season
    6. The following decision rules will apply to the extension of the 2014/15 season:
    (i) if, on average, less than one bird per ship is captured during the two extensions of the 2013/14 season, pre-season 2014/15 will begin on April 1, 2015;
    (ii) if, on average, one to three birds per vessel, or more than 10 and less than 16 birds in total, are captured during the extensions of the 2013/14 season, pre-season 2014/15 will begin on 6 April 2015; or
    (iii) if, on average, more than three birds per vessel, or more than 15 birds in total, are captured during the extended periods of the 2013/14 season, the 2014/15 season will begin on 16 April 2015.
    7. The extensions of the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons will be subject to a caption of three (3) seabirds per vessel. If a total of three seabirds are captured by a vessel during these two extension periods, the vessel shall immediately cease fishing during extensions. In the case of the extension of the fishing period at the beginning of the season, the fishery will only resume on April 16 of the corresponding season and the extension at the end of the season will not be applicable.
    8. The extension of the season for the 2014/15 season will only be applicable to vessels that have demonstrated that they have fully met the 25-02 conservation measure during the previous season.
    Accessory cap :
    9. All crabs of the incidental capture will, as far as possible, be returned to the living water
    10. The incidental catch of fish in the Dissostichus eleginoides fishery of the statistical subzone 48.3 during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons will not exceed 120 tons for the rays and 120 tons for Macrourus spp. per season. For the purposes of these incidental capture limits, Macrourus spp. and rays are each considered as a single species.
    11. If the incidental capture of a species is equal to or greater than 1 ton in any line or pose, the fishing vessel moves to another place of fishing remote from at least 5 miles (1). It does not return for five days (2) at least within a radius of 5 nautical miles from the place where incidental capture has exceeded 1 ton. Where accidental capture exceeds 1 ton, the route (3) followed by the fishing vessel is defined.
    Accidental capture mitigation:
    12. In order to minimize the accidental mortality of seabirds during this fishery, it will be conducted in accordance with the conservation measure 25-02.
    Observers:
    13. Any vessel participating in this fishery must have on board, for the duration of the fishing activities carried out during the fishing period, at least one scientific observer appointed in accordance with the international scientific observation system of CCAMLR and, if possible, another scientific observer.
    Data: catch/fishing effort:
    14. For the purpose of applying this conservation measure, it is appropriate to apply:
    (i) the capture and fishing effort reporting system per five-day period described in conservation measure 23-01;
    ii) the monthly capture and fishing effort reporting system described in conservation measure 23-04. Accurate scale data will be reported by pose.
    15. For the purposes of conservation measures 23-01 and 23-04, "target species" means Dissostichus eleginoides and "catch species" all species other than Dissostichus eleginoides.
    16. The total number and weight of the releases of Dissostichus eleginoides, including those responding to the condition of "gelatinous flesh", must be declared. The capture of these fish is to be deducted from the total allowable capture.
    Data: biological:
    17. The specific biological data required by conservation measure 23-05 are collected and recorded. These data will be reported in accordance with the CCAMLR international scientific observation system.
    Research fishing:
    18. Dissostichus eleginoides captures made under the provisions of the 24-01 conservation measure in the fishing area defined in this conservation measure will be considered an integral part of the caption limit.
    Environmental protection:
    19. Conservation measure 26-01 is applicable.

    (1) This provision concerning the minimum distance between fishing sites is adopted pending the adoption by the Commission of a more precise definition of a fishing place. (2) The specified period is adopted in accordance with the declaration period specified in conservation measure 23-01, pending the adoption of a more appropriate period by the Commission. (3) For a hog or a locker, the journey means the point where the first anchor of a pose is dropped to the point where the last anchor is dropped.


    Sub-zone 48.3 - the fishing area and the three management areas under the capture allocation under paragraph 4. The 1000 and 2,000 m level curves are indicated.

    The Commission adopts this conservation measure under conservation measure 31-01:
    Access:
    1. The fishing of Champsocephalus gunnari in the statistical subzone 48.3 is carried out by vessels using trawlers exclusively. The use of bottom trawlers in the Champsocephalus gunnari directed fishing is prohibited in this subzone.
    2. The fishing of Champsocephalus gunnari is prohibited less than 12 nautical miles from the coast of South Georgia during the period between 1 March and 31 May.
    Capture limit:
    3. The total capture of Champsocephalus gunnari in the statistical subzone 48.3 during the 2013/14 season is limited to 4,635 tons.
    4. When in any trait, the capturing of Champsocephalus gunnari exceeds 100 kg, and more than 10% of these fish, in number, are less than 240 mm in total length, the fishing vessel moves from at least 5 nautical miles (1) to another fishing place. It does not return for five days (2) at least within a radius of 5 nautical miles from the place where the capture of small-sized Champsocephalus gunnari exceeded 10%. Where the accidental capture of small-sized Champsocephalus gunnari exceeds 10%, the route followed by the fishing vessel, from the point where the fishing gear was deployed to the point where it was recovered by the vessel.
    Season:
    5. For the purposes of the Champsocephalus gunnari trawling fishery of the statistical subzone 48.3, the 2013/14 season is the period between December 1, 2013 and November 30, 2014, unless the catch limit is reached earlier, in which case the fishery would cease.
    Accessory cap :
    6. The incidental capture of this fishery is regulated by conservation measure 33-01. If, in the course of the directed fishing of Champsocephalus gunnari, the incidental capture in any of the species cited in the conservation measure 33-01 is greater than 100 kg and exceeds 5% by weight of the total capture of all fish, or is equal to or greater than 2 tonnes, the fishing vessel moves from at least 5 nautical miles (1) to another fishing place. It does not return for five days (2) at least within a radius of 5 nautical miles from the place where the incidental capture of the species cited in the conservation measure 33-01 exceeded 5%. Where accidental capture exceeds 5%, the route followed by the fishing vessel is the point where the fishing gear was deployed to the point where it was recovered by the vessel.
    Accidental capture mitigation:
    7. In order to minimize the accidental mortality of seabirds during this fishery, it will be conducted in accordance with the conservation measure 25-03. Ships will use the tightening (3) of the nets and consider adding weight to the trawl ass to reduce the catch of seabirds during filtering operations.
    8. If a vessel captures a total of 20 seabirds, it ceases fishing and cannot resume fishing activities during the 2013/14 season.
    Observers:
    9. Any vessel participating in this fishery must have on board, for the duration of the fishing activities carried out during the fishing period, at least one scientific observer appointed in accordance with the international scientific observation system of CCAMLR and, if possible, another scientific observer.
    Data: catch/fishing effort:
    10. For the purpose of implementing this conservation measure, during the 2013/14 season, it is appropriate to apply:
    (i) the capture and fishing effort reporting system per five-day period described in conservation measure 23-01;
    ii) the monthly capture and fishing effort reporting system described in conservation measure 23-04. Accurate scale data will be reported by pose.
    11. For the purposes of conservation measures 23-01 and 23-04, by "species-target" means Champsocephalus gunnari and by "catch species accessories", all species other than Champsocephalus gunnari.

    12. The specific biological data required by conservation measure 23-05 are collected and recorded. These data will be reported in accordance with the CCAMLR international scientific observation system.
    Environmental protection:
    13. Conservation measure 26-01 is applicable.

    (1) This provision concerning the minimum distance between fishing sites is adopted pending the adoption by the Commission of a more precise definition of a fishing place. (2) The specified period is adopted in accordance with the declaration period specified in conservation measure 23-01 pending the adoption of a more appropriate period by the Commission. (3) The following guidelines should help to generalize the application of optimal mitigation measures: (i) when the net is on the deck, before launching it, attach it with a three-wire sisal string (whose fracture point should be around 110 kg) or another material of the same type, organic, biodegradable, every 5 m or less, to prevent the net from spreading and floating. The tightening of the net should be practiced on the 120-800 mm mesh. It has been proven that this mesh causes the majority of entanglements with white chin and black eyebrow albatros, the species most vulnerable to this type of mortality in the statistical subzone 48.3. ii) to attach the string, attach one end to the net to prevent it from sliding to the bottom of the net and ensure that it can be detached once the net is lifted. (iii) since 2003, weights of 200-1,250 kg are added to the trawl ass, belly, opening and lower raling to speed up the immersion of the net and increase the angle of the lift of the net when it is raised on the deck, which reduces the time it passes on the surface. This method has proven to be effective in reducing bird entanglements in nets during the rise. Ships are encouraged to continue the appropriate removal experience of the net. (iv) the cleaning of the net should complete the removal and tightening of the net to reduce the capture of seabirds during the laying operations of the trawl. (v) Other measures should be taken to minimize the time that the net passes to the surface of the water by filtering and turning.

    EquipmentDivers
    The Commission adopts this conservation measure:
    1. This conservation measure is applicable to exploratory fisheries of Antarctic Kirill (Euphausia superba), with the exception of those to which the Commission grants specific exemptions, and only as part of these exemptions.
    2. Fishing in any statistical or division sub-zone ceases when the declared catch reaches the specified capture limit (1) and that sub-zone or division is then closed to fishing for the remainder of the season. No more than 75% of the caption limit will be carried out within 60 nautical miles of the breeding colonies known to terrestrial predators dependent on krill.
    3. To give effect to paragraph 2 above:
    (i) For the purpose of reporting capture and fishing effort data, the precise geographic position of a trawl stroke is determined by the midpoint of the line between the beginning and end of line points;
    (ii) for the purposes of this conservation measure, fishing is defined as any period during which fishing gear, conventional trawlers, trawl ass pumps and continuously pumping equipment are in water;
    (iii) the secretariat shall notify Contracting Parties participating in these fisheries on the one hand, as soon as the total capture of Euphausia superba combined in any statistical or division sub-zone may reach the specified catch limit and on the other, the closure of this sub-zone or division as soon as the limit is reached (2). The trawl shall not be towed, even partially, in a closed subzone or division.
    4. The total vivid weight of captured and lost krill must be declared.
    5. Any vessel participating in the exploration fishery of krill during the 2013/14 season must have on board, for the duration of the fishing activities carried out during the fishing season, a scientific observer who has been appointed in accordance with the CCAMLR International Scientific Observation System and, if possible, an additional scientific observer.
    6. The data collection plan (annex 51-04/A) and the research plan (annex 51-04/B) will be implemented. The data collected in accordance with the so-called Plans for the period ending May 1, 2014 must be reported to CCAMLR by June 1, 2014 to be available at the meeting of the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM) in 2014. The data collected after June 1, 2014 will be reported to the CCAMLR no later than three months after the closure of the fishery, but, to the extent possible, will be submitted in time to be considered by the Scientific Committee.
    7. Contracting Parties that, prior to the opening of the fishery, decide not to participate in the fishery, must inform the secretariat of the change of their plans no later than one month before the opening of the fishery. If, for any reason, Contracting Parties are not in a position to participate in the fisheries, they must inform the secretariat no later than one week after having realized that they could not participate in the fisheries. The secretariat shall inform all Contracting Parties as soon as such notification is received.

    (1) Unless otherwise specified, the krill capture limit is 15,000 tonnes in any subzone or statistical division. (2) The closure of the fisheries is governed by conservation measure 31-02.


    ANNEX 51-04/A
    COLLECTION PLANS OF KRILL EXPLORATIVE PASTES


    1. During normal fishing operations, all vessels will comply with the 10-day capture and fishing effort reporting system (preservation measure 23-02) and the monthly capture, fishing and biological data reporting systems on a specific scale (preservation measures 23-04 and 23-05), including the provisions for reporting data on a specific basis.
    2. During normal fishing operations, all data required under the CCAMLR Scientific Observer Manual for krill fisheries will be collected.
    3. Detailed information on the configuration of any commercial trawler used during normal fishing operations and any research net used during research operations will be submitted to the CCAMLR within one month of the end of each fishing operation.
    4. The data collected on the search features will include:
    (i) The position and time of beginning and end of line;
    (ii) The date on which the trait was conducted;
    (iii) The characteristics of the trawl line, i.e., the trawling speed, the maximum amount of cable that was leaked during trawling, the average angle of the cable angle during trawling and the values of the calibrated currentometer that could be used to obtain precise measurements of the filtered volume;
    (iv) An estimate of total capture (number and weight) of krill; and
    (v) A sample of about 200 randomly taken krill individuals or complete capture, if less, will be taken from the trawl by the observer - the length, sex and maturity phase of each krill individual will be measured and recorded in accordance with the protocols of the CCAMLR Scientific Observer Manual.
    5. At a minimum, the data collected during acoustic transects must:
    (i) To the extent possible, be registered in accordance with the protocols stipulated in the CCAMLR-2000 campaign;
    (ii) Being connected to the position data recorded using a GPS;
    (iii) Be recorded continuously and then electronically archived every five days or every time the vessel moves between the exploratory units, if it moves more frequently.
    6. The data collected during the research operations conducted by fishing vessels will be reported to CCAMLR within one month of the end of each fishing operation.
    7. Data collected by Contracting Parties conducting independent fisheries research operations will, where appropriate, be submitted to CCAMLR in accordance with the guidelines for the submission of CEMP data and data collected during the CCAMLR-2000 campaign. These data will be submitted in a timely manner to review them at the next WG-EMM meeting.


    ANNEX 51-04/B
    RESEARCH PLANS FOR KRILL EXPLORATOIRS


    1. Activities under this research plan are not exempted from existing conservation measures.
    2. This plan is applicable to all sub-zones or divisions.
    3. A schematic representation of the plans described in this measure is given in Figure 1.
    4. Contracting Parties intending to conduct krill exploratory fishing activities select one of the following four research and data collection plans and notify CCAMLR of their choice at least one month before the start of any fishing activity:
    (i) Follow-up of predators;
    (ii) Research campaign conducted from a scientific vessel;
    (iii) Acoustic transects by fishing vessels; or
    (iv) Research disturbances by fishing vessels.
    5. When a vessel of a Contracting Party cooperates with a research institute to complete the research plan, the Contracting Party shall identify the institute in question.
    6. In the event that the Contracting Parties opt for plan (i) "following predators", in the list of paragraph 4 above, the Contracting Parties should, to the extent possible, comply with the standard methods of the CEMP. The follow-up would be carried out for a sufficiently long period to cover the entire breeding period of terrestrial predators and the duration of the exploratory fishery that would take place during their breeding season.
    7. In the event that Contracting Parties opt for plan (ii) "research campaign conducted on a scientific ship", in the list in paragraph 4 above, these Parties shall, to the extent possible, follow all protocols for the collection and analysis of the data specified for the CCAMLR-2000 campaign.
    8. In the event that Contracting Parties opt for plans (iii) "acoustic transects by fishing vessels", or (iv) "fishing vessel research trawlings", in the list in paragraph 4 above, vessels participating in krill exploration fisheries could conduct their research program before (in the first option) or after normal exploratory fishing operations. All required research activities must be carried out in the same fishing season.
    9. For the purposes of this conservation measure, exploratory units are areas of 1° latitude on 1° longitude, whose vertices are present at the entire latitude and longitude points in the subzones or statistical divisions.
    10. If a vessel opts for plan (iii) "acoustic transects by fishing vessels" or plan (iv) "research trawling by fishing vessels" before carrying out its normal exploratory fishing operations, it will carry out the research plan as follows;
    (i) It implements a research plan for exploratory units based on the targeted operating sector;
    (ii) During normal exploratory fishing operations, vessels may choose to operate the exploratory unit of their choice;
    (iii) It conducts additional research operations in such a way that, at the end of the fishery, the number of exploratory units in which research operations are conducted is greater than or equal to the capture obtained during normal fishing operations, divided by 2,000 tons;
    (iv) It fishes so that the exploratory units in which the research operations are conducted surround and include units where normal fishing operations are conducted.
    11. If a vessel opts for plan (iii) "acoustic transects by fishing vessels" or plan (iv) "research trawling by fishing vessels", after its normal exploratory fishing operations, it will conduct the research plan as follows:
    (i) During normal exploratory fishing operations, vessels may choose to operate the exploratory unit of their choice, however they will have to conduct a series of acoustic transects or a series of search traits in each exploratory unit in which they visited during normal fishing operations;
    (ii) At the end of normal exploratory fishing operations (either voluntarily, or once the caption limit has been reached), the vessel will proceed to the nearest exploratory unit in which it has not yet surrendered and will begin research operations;
    (iii) The vessel will determine how many units in which it has not yet visited will have to be evaluated during the research operations by dividing the capture obtained during the normal exploratory fishing operations by 2,000 tons and by rounding to the nearest whole number;
    (iv) The vessel will then select a number of exploratory units equal to the number of units determined by the calculation referred to in paragraph (ii) above and will perform a series of acoustic transects or a series of search trawl traits in each of these units;
    (v) Exploratory units in which the vessel travels during the search operations shall not have been visited during normal exploratory fishing operations;
    (vi) The campaign will be conducted so that the exploratory units, in which the vessel travels during the research operations, supervise the units in which the normal exploratory fishing operations previously took place.
    12. The search lines will be performed with necton nets commonly used in scientific research (e.g. IKMT or RMT nets) of a 4-5 mm mesh, including the trawl ass. A search line is a randomly positioned oblique trawl at a depth of 200 m or 25 m from the bottom (if the zones are less deep) and a duration of 0.5 h. A series of search features is defined as three search features separated by a minimum of 10 nautical miles.
    13. Acoustic transects should be made using a scientific quality echosounder to collect information at a minimum frequency of 38 kHz for a minimum observation depth of 200 m. The echo waver shall be calibrated before the vessel's port is left and, to the extent possible, at the fishing site itself, and the calibration data shall be reported with the research transect data. If a vessel is unable to calibrate its echowaver at the fishing site:
    (i) Acoustic transects comparable to transects in previous fishing seasons should be conducted during subsequent visits;
    (ii) Vessels conducting continuous trawling will have to attempt to match certain acoustic observations with the respective trawling catches, as they could perform trawling almost immediately after the acoustic data was recorded.
    Each acoustic transect is randomly located and follows a continuous path at a constant speed of 10 knots or less in a constant direction. The minimum distance between the starting point and the final point is 30 nautical miles, and a series of acoustic transects is defined as two transects separated by at least 10 nautical miles.
    14. All acoustic transects, both normal and research exploration fishing operations, must be accompanied by at least one trawl stroke. These traits can be carried out either by commercial trawlers or by research trawlers. The trawlings accompanying the acoustic transects can be conducted during the transect or immediately after the transect is completed. In the latter case, the trawling will be conducted along a previous segment of the transect line. The trawlings accompanying the acoustic transects shall last at least 0.5 h, or the time required to obtain a representative sample, and the data collected using these traits shall be similar to those required for the research traits.

    Acknowledging the significant gaps in reporting biological data for most areas of this fishery,
    Reaffirming the need for appropriate monitoring and management of krill fisheries to ensure that it remains consistent with the objectives of the Convention,
    Bearing in mind the Scientific Committee's recommendation that the krill fishery be subject to scientific observation and that, to develop an observer placement system that allows the acquisition of the data required for the assessment of the impact of krill fishery on the ecosystem, the Scientific Committee recommended a first comprehensive and systematic approach to the observation of placing observers on 100% of the two-season fishery vessels in krill
    adopts this conservation measure under Article IX.2 (i) of the Convention:
    1. Each Contracting Party shall endeavour to ensure that its fishing vessels participating in the krill fishery take at least one scientific observer appointed in accordance with the international scientific observation system of the CCAMLR or any other observer appointed by the Party (1) and, if possible, an additional scientific observer for the duration of fishing activities of the fishing seasons 2012/13 and 2013/14.
    2. Unless otherwise noted to another conservation measure, each Contracting Party shall ensure that its fishing vessels participating in the krill fishery have established a systematic scientific observation programme that will be conducted in accordance with the international scientific observation system of the CCAMLR or any other scientific observer appointed by the Contracting Party (1) covering all fishing activities of the fishing seasons 2012/13 and 2013/14.
    3. The systematic scientific observation programme referred to in paragraph 2 above will include:
    (i) A target compliance rate of at least 50% of vessels during fishing seasons 2012/13 and 2013/14;
    (ii) Ships ensure that the scientific observer has access to a sufficient number of samples to be able to sample and collect data in accordance with the requirements set out in the Scientific Observer Manual (2);
    (iii) Observation of all vessels at least once every two fishing seasons;
    (iv) A presence of scientific observers such as the coverage of each fishing vessel is comparable, if any, between summer and winter (3) during the fishing seasons 2012/13 and 2013/14.
    4. For the purposes of the implementation of this conservation measure, the data conditions referred to in the 23-06 conservation measure are applicable.
    5. The total vivid weight of krill captured and recovered on board will be declared. The method used to estimate the high weight will be reported in accordance with the provisions of conservation measure 21-03. It is advisable to report the total vivid weight estimate of captured but not returned on board in a separate category.
    6. The Commission, after reviewing this conservation measure during its 2014 meeting, based on the analysis of the Working Group on Statistics, Evaluations and Modelling (WG-SAM) and the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM) and the conclusions of the Scientific Committee, will adopt a well-designed programme of systematic observation of krill fisheries.

    (1) The collection of scientific data and sampling protocols followed by an observer appointed by a Contracting Party will be in accordance with the requirements of the CCAMLR international scientific observation system and the protocols contained in the CCAMLR Scientific Observer Manual, including with respect to the implementation of the priorities and work programme defined by the Scientific Committee. The data and reports of observers will be submitted to the CCAMLR to be included in the CCAMLR database and analysed by the Scientific Committee and its working groups in the formats required by the CCAMLR International Scientific Observation System. (2) For krill length measurements, it is necessary to conduct a sampling every three days during the period of November to February and every five days between March and October and, for by-catch fish, to conduct a sampling according to the instructions of the observer's notebook. (3) For the purposes of this conservation measure, the period from November to February, and the period from March to October, is defined by winter.

    The Commission,
    Noting the need to distribute the capture of krill in the statistical zone 48 in such a way that populations of predators, including terrestrial predators, are not inadvertently and disproportionately affected by fishing activity,
    Acknowledging the need to avoid significant captures that could reach the trigger threshold in areas below sub-zones,
    Acknowledging that the range of the trigger threshold should allow sufficient flexibility in the location of the fishery in order to (i) take into account the interannual variation in the distribution of krill concentrations, and (ii) reduce the potential impact of the fishery in coastal areas on terrestrial predators,
    adopts this conservation measure:
    1. Subject to the examination referred to in paragraph 2, the trigger threshold of paragraph 3 of conservation measure 51-01 shall be temporarily distributed in the following proportions, corresponding to maximum capture in the areas cited:
    Subzone 48.1:25 per cent
    Subzone 48.2:45 per cent
    Subzone 48.3:45%
    Subzone 48.4: 15%
    2. The provisional allocation of the trigger threshold referred to in paragraph 1 will be reviewed and revised in 2014 to ensure the implementation of Article II of the Convention, taking into account the resource requirements of land predators.

When one or more members of the Commission conducting, or planning to conduct, studies within the framework of the CMP on a site of the CMP, consider that the site should be protected, a draft management plan should be prepared by their care, in accordance with Appendix A of this conservation measure.
    2. This proposed management plan will be addressed to the Executive Secretary who will forward it to all members of the Commission to review it, at least three months before the WG-EMM review.
    3. The proposed management plan will be considered in turn by WG-EMM, the Scientific Committee and the Commission. In consultation with the member(s) of the Commission that has (have) drafted the proposed management plan, the latter may be amended by any of these bodies. If a draft management plan is amended by the WG-EMM or the Scientific Committee, it will be forwarded to the Scientific Committee or the Commission as appropriate.
    4. If, following the implementation of the procedures outlined in paragraphs 1 to 3 above, the Commission considers it appropriate to grant the necessary protection to the CEMP site, it shall adopt a resolution inviting Members to comply, on a voluntary basis, with the provisions of the management plan pending the outcome of that action, in accordance with paragraphs 5 to 8 below.
    5. The Executive Secretary will forward this resolution to the SCAR, the Consultative Parties to the Antarctic Treaty, and, where appropriate, the Contracting Parties to the other components of the Antarctic Treaty system currently in force.
    6. Unless, before the opening date of the next ordinary meeting of the Commission, the Executive Secretary did not receive:
    (i) An indication of the part of a Consultative Party to the Antarctic Treaty, which the latter wishes to see the resolution discussed at an advisory meeting; or
    (ii) An objection from any other body referred to in paragraph 5 above;
    The Commission may, through a conservation measure, confirm its adoption of the management plan for the CMP site that it will then be included in Appendix 91-01/A of this conservation measure.
    7. In the event that an Antarctic Treaty Consultative Party would express the wish that the resolution be considered at an advisory meeting, the Commission would expect the outcome of such a review and could then act accordingly.
    8. If, pursuant to paragraphs 6(ii) or 7 above, an objection was reached to the Commission, the Commission could initiate consultations that it considers appropriate to obtain the necessary protection and to avoid obstructing the realization of the principles and objectives of the Antarctic Treaty and other components of the treaty system currently in force, as well as the measures established under that Treaty.
    9. The site management plan may be amended on the Commission ' s decision. In such cases, full consideration will be given to the advice of the Scientific Committee. Any amendment that is intended to extend the area of a site or to add to the categories or types of activities that may jeopardize the site's objectives will be subject to the regulations set out in paragraphs 5 and 8 above.
    10. Access to a site of the CEMP subject to a conservation measure will be prohibited except for the reasons permitted in the site-related management plan and in accordance with the permit specified in paragraph 11.
    11. Each Contracting Party shall, where appropriate, issue permits authorizing its nationals to carry out activities consistent with the provisions of the CMP site management plans and take, within its competence, other measures that may be necessary to ensure that its nationals submit to the approved management plans for these sites.
    12. Copies of these permits will be sent to the Executive Secretary as soon as possible after delivery. Each year, the Executive Secretary must provide the Commission and the Scientific Committee with a brief description of the permits issued by the parties. When permits are issued for use that is not directly related to the conduct of the CEMP studies on the site in question, the Executive Secretary must send a copy of the permits to the member(s) of the Commission conducting the CEMP studies on this site.
    13. Each management plan must be reviewed every five years by the WG-EMM and the Scientific Committee to determine whether it requires a review and whether continuous site protection remains essential. The Commission may then act accordingly.

    The Commission,
    Recognizing that the protection of the marine environment of Antarctica and the living marine resources of Antarctica, including through protected marine areas, has long been considered desirable and valuable in the framework of agreements and bodies that constitute the Antarctic Treaty system,
    Recalling that the commitment to the designation of space protection is clearly defined in both the 1991 Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty on Environmental Protection and the 1980 CAMLR Convention,
    Recalling that under the Protocol, an Antarctic area, including a marine area, may be designated as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) or Antarctic Specially Managed Area (AZSGA),
    Acknowledging that activities in APAS and AGAS may be prohibited, limited or managed in accordance with management plans adopted under the provisions of Annex V to the Protocol,
    Noting that the Convention (Articles V and VIII) provides for close cooperation between CCAMLR and the Antarctic Treaty,
    Recalling that the competencies of RCTA and CCAMLR and their relationships were clarified and confirmed in the Protocol even before it was established by 4 (1998) - Marine Protected Areas and Decision 9 (2005) - Marine Protected Areas and other areas of interest for CCAMLR, respectively,
    Noting that the 2011 CCAMLR Workshop on AMP noted that a harmonized approach to space protection in the Antarctic Treaty system could lead to the designation of ZSPA and ZSGA by RCTA within the CCAMLR MPAs,
    On the understanding that such a multi-level approach to the management of the region could harmonize the decisions taken at the CCAMLR and make possible a detailed review of activities that, normally, are not considered by the CCAMLR,
    Concerned about the risk that fishing activities in SBAs and SGAs may adversely affect the high scientific value of long-term ecosystem studies in these sectors, and jeopardize the objectives set out in the management plans for these areas,
    Noting that fishing vessels may have been present in the ASAs and the ASAs as a result of the fact that some of those responsible for the vessels did not know the existence of these designated areas,
    Acknowledging the need for timely and informative communication between CCAMLR and CCAMLR with respect to the publication and provision of the management plans for the APA and AZSGA marine areas,
    Recalling that the Commission has previously approved the harmonized approach to space protection in the Antarctic Treaty system,
    Adopts this conservation measure under Article III of the Convention:
    1. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that its licensed fishing vessels (1) under Conservation Measure 10-02 are aware of the position and management plan for all designated ASAs and ASAs that have marine areas and are listed in Schedule 91-02/A.

    The Commission,
    Recalling its accession to the programme of work of the Scientific Committee, whose intention is to establish a representative system of marine protected areas of Antarctica (MPA), which will aim to preserve marine biodiversity in the Convention area and, in accordance with the decision of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002, to establish a representative network of MPAs by 2012,
    Desiring to implement Article IX 2 (f) and 2 (g) of the CCAMLR Convention by which conservation measures, based on the best available scientific evidence, could manage the opening and closing of areas, regions or subsectors for scientific or conservation study purposes, including those of special zones for the protection and scientific study,
    Noting the establishment by the CCAMLR of the South Orcades South Plateau MAP, which represents a first step towards an MPA network in the Convention area,
    Noting the importance of MPAs to facilitate research and monitoring of the living marine resources of Antarctica,
    Sensitive to the fact that the establishment of MPAs in the Convention area (CCAMLR MAP) can result in an exchange of information between CCAMLR and the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting,
    Acknowledging that the CCAMLR MPAs are intended to contribute to the maintenance of ecosystem structure and function, including in areas beyond the MPAs, to maintain adaptation capacity in the face of climate change and to reduce the possibility of invasive exogenous species due to anthropogenic activities,
    Noting the importance of establishing CCAMLR MPAs in the Convention area in accordance with Article II of the CAMLR Convention, which states that conservation does not exclude rational use,
    Recognizing that management activities and agreements within the CCAMLR MPAs should align with the objectives of these MPAs,
    Noting that, individually, MPAs will not be able to achieve the desired objectives for MPAs in the CAMLR Convention area, but that together, they should be able to achieve them,
    Recalling the Scientific Committee's view that the entire area of the Convention is the equivalent of a Class IV IUCN MPA, but that some areas of the Convention area require particular attention in a representative MPA system,
    Adopts this conservation measure under Article IX of the Convention to establish a framework for the establishment of CCAMLR MPAs:


    1. This conservation measure and any other conservation measures of CCAMLR relating to MPAs in the Convention area are adopted and implemented in accordance with international law, as reflected in, inter alia, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
    2. The CCAMLR MPAs are based on the best available scientific evidence, and contribute, taking fully into account Article II of the CAMLR Convention in which conservation encompasses rational use, to the achievement of the following objectives:
    (i) the protection of representative examples of marine ecosystems, biodiversity and habitats on a scale to maintain their sustainability and long-term integrity;
    ii) the protection of ecosystem processes, habitats and key species, including populations and stages of the life cycle;
    (iii) the establishment of scientific reference zones for the monitoring of natural variability and long-term change or for the effects of exploitation and other anthropogenic activities on the living marine resources of Antarctica and the ecosystems they constitute;
    (iv) the protection of vulnerable areas in the face of the impact of anthropogenic activities, including unique habitats and features, rare or extremely diverse biologically;
    (v) protection of characteristics essential to the function of local ecosystems;
    (vi) protection of areas in order to maintain resilience or adaptability to the effects of climate change.
    3. The Commission shall establish CCAMLR MPAs based on the advice of the Scientific Committee by adopting conservation measures in accordance with this measure. These conservation measures include:
    (i) the specific objectives of the MPAs, as defined in paragraph 2;
    (ii) the spatial limits of the AMP, including, where necessary, geographical coordinates, boundary markers (if possible) and natural characteristics that delineate the area;
    (iii) activities that are restricted, prohibited or managed in all or part of the AMP, and any temporal (seasonal) or spatial limitation of these activities;
    (iv) unless otherwise advised by the Commission, the priority elements of a management plan, including administrative provisions, and a research and follow-up plan, and any interim management, research and follow-up provision as long as such plans are not adopted. These requirements specify the date on which plans are to be submitted to the Commission;
    (v) the designation period, if any, that will be included in the specific objectives of the AMP.
    4. The management plan for an AMP, once established and adopted by the Commission, will be annexed to the conservation measure and will contain the management and administrative provisions that will achieve the specific objectives of the AMP.
    5. The Commission, on the basis of the advice of the Scientific Committee, will adopt a research and follow-up plan for an AMP.
    (i) The plan specifies, to the extent necessary, the scientific research to be carried out in the AMP, including, inter alia:
    (a) scientific research under the specific objectives of the AMP;
    (b) other research consistent with the specific objectives of the AMP; and/or
    (c) monitoring the degree to which the specific objectives of the AMP are achieved.
    (ii) Research activities that are not included in the research and monitoring plan are managed under the 24-01 conservation measure unless the Commission decides otherwise.
    (iii) All Members may undertake research and follow-up activities in accordance with this plan.
    (iv) The data specified in the research and follow-up plan are submitted to the secretariat and made available in accordance with the CCAMLR data access and use rules to enable Members to conduct the analysis of this plan.
    (v) Unless otherwise agreed by the Commission, every five years, the Members conducting activities in accordance with or related to the research and follow-up plan compile a report on these activities and, in particular, on preliminary results for consideration by the Scientific Committee.
    6. Vessels to which the conservation measures of the CCAMLR designating CCAMLR MPAs are applicable are vessels under the jurisdiction of parties to the Convention, which are either fishing vessels (1) or vessels carrying out scientific research on the living marine resources of Antarctica in accordance with conservation measures of the CCAMLR.
    7. Notwithstanding paragraph 6, the conservation measures of the CCAMLR designating MPAs do not apply to auxiliary warships or warships or to other vessels belonging to a State or operated by a State as long as the State uses them exclusively for governmental and non-commercial purposes at this time. However, each Party shall endeavour to ensure that such vessels owned or operated by it are operated in a manner consistent with this conservation measure, to the extent that this is reasonable and feasible, by adopting appropriate measures that do not involve the operations or operational capabilities of such vessels.
    8. Unless otherwise noted to the relevant conservation measure to take due account of the specific objectives of the CCAMLR MPAs, conservation measures designating the CCAMLR MPAs are revised every 10 years or as agreed by the Commission on the advice of the Scientific Committee, in particular to assess whether the specific objectives of the MPAs are still relevant or have already been achieved, as well as the implementation of the research plan.
    9. In order to encourage cooperation in the implementation of CCAMLR MPAs, the Commission provides information on the conservation measures of CCAMLR establishing MPAs in the Convention area, including any relevant international or regional organization, and to any State that is not a party to the Convention, whose nationals or vessels may enter the Convention area.
    10. When a new CCAMLR AMP is designated, the Commission strives to identify what actions on the part of other elements of the Antarctic Treaty, and other organizations, such as the International Maritime Organization, should be committed to supporting the objectives of the AMP once it is established.

    (1) For the purposes of this conservation measure, "fishing vessel" means any vessel, regardless of size, used and equipped, or is intended to be used to conduct fishing operations or fishing activities, including support vessels, plant vessels, trans-shipment vessels and vessels equipped to carry fish products, with the exception of container carriers. This definition excludes marine scientific research vessels from Members.

    1. The Commission approved the objectives of resolution 44/225 adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on pelagic fishing with large drift-nets and, among other things, that any further development of this fishery does not extend to the high seas. Acknowledging the presence of a concentration of living marine resources in antarctic waters, it has been found that pelagic fishing with large drift-nets can be carried out without discrimination and prove to be a low-cost fishing method that, for many, poses a threat to the effective preservation of marine fauna and flora. Although at present, no member has embarked on pelagic fishing activities with large drift-nets in the Convention area, the Commission expressed concern about the virtual impact of this fishery on marine fauna and flora, in the event that it would extend to the Convention area.
    2. To that end, the Commission agreed that, in accordance with United Nations resolution 44/225, the expansion of pelagic fishing with large drift-nets will not be accepted in the Convention area.
    3. Under Article X, it was agreed that the Commission should bring this resolution to the attention of any State that is not a party to the Convention, and whose nationals or vessels practice pelagic fishing with large drift-nets.

    The Commission,
    Having considered the reports on the implementation of the Dissostichus spp capture documentation system established under conservation measure 10-05 (1999),
    Being satisfied that the system has been well established and noting the system improvements under conservation measures 10-05 (2000) and 10-05 (2001),
    Aware that the effectiveness of the system is dependent on its application by Contracting Parties that are not members of the Commission ("adherent States") but that conduct fishing operations or sell Dissostichus spp. as well as by non-contracting Parties,
    Concerned about the evidence that several adhering States and non-contracting Parties that continue to fish or sell Dissostichus spp. do not apply the system,
    Particularly concerned at the continued failure of adherent States to implement the system, to seek to achieve its objectives, to promote them and not to fulfil their obligations under Article XXII, which states that it is necessary to make every possible effort to address the activities carried out in violation of the objectives of the Convention,
    Strongly committed to taking measures consistent with international law to ensure that the effectiveness and credibility of the system is not compromised by the Member States and non-contracting Parties that do not apply it,
    Taking action in accordance with Article X of the Convention,


    1. Encourages all adherent States and non-contracting Parties not participating in the capture documentation system that fish or sell Dissostichus spp. to apply the system as soon as possible.

    Concerned that the Dissostichus spp. (SDC) capture documentation system may be used to conceal illegal, unregulated and unreported (INN) captures of Dissostichus spp. in order to obtain legitimate market access,
    Concerned that any incorrect statement and any improper use of the CDS seriously undermine the effectiveness of CCAMLR conservation measures,


    1. Strongly requests the States participating in the SDC to ensure that the Dissostichus (CCD) capture certificates that relate to the landing or importation of Dissostichus spp. are controlled, when necessary, by contacting flag States to verify that the information contained in the CCDs is consistent with that of the data derived from an automatic control system.
    2. Resolutely requests the States participating in the SDC, if necessary for this purpose, to consider reviewing their national legislation and regulations, with a view to prohibiting, in a manner consistent with international law, the landings/trans-shipments/imports of Dissostichus spp. declared in a CCD as having been captured in the FAO statistical zone 51 if the flag State is not in a measure
    3. Requests the Scientific Committee to review data on sectors where Dissostichus spp. is present outside the Convention area and the potential biomass of Dissostichus spp. in these sectors, in order to assist the Commission in the conservation and management of Dissostichus spp. stocks and to identify potential areas and biomass of Dissostichus spp. that could be disembarked/exported.

    Recalling also Resolution 3(2006) adopted by the Consultative Meeting of the Antarctic Treaty and Resolution MEPC.163(56) adopted by the International Maritime Organization, which adopted the Guidelines for the Renewal of Ballast Waters in the Area of the Antarctic Treaty,
    Desirous of applying the above-mentioned guidelines to the entire CAMLR Convention area,


    1. strongly encourages all Contracting Parties and non-contracting Parties cooperating with CCAMLR to take specific measures to enforce the IMO Guidelines for the Renewal of Ballast Waters in the Antarctic Treaty Area, as well as the Guidelines for the Renewal of Ballast Waters in the CAMLR Convention Area, north of 60°S, as defined in the Annex to this Resolution,
    2. Includes all Contracting Parties and non-contracting Parties cooperating with CCAMLR to take measures to implement effective ballast water treatment.


    Annex
    DIRECTRIES FOR THE RENEWING OF BALLAST EAUX IN THE ZONE OF THE CAMLR CONVENTION, TO 60°S1


    1. These guidelines shall apply to vessels covered by Article 3 of the IMO International Convention for the Control and Management of Ballast Waters and Ship Seeds (the Convention for the Management of Ballast Waters), taking into account the exceptions referred to in Rule A-3 of the Convention, which conduct fishing or related activities in the CAMLR Convention area (under Article II.3 of the Convention). They do not replace the provisions of the Convention for the Management of Ballast Waters, but complement the regional plan for the Interim Management of Ballast Waters for Antarctica under section 13(3), which was adopted in Resolution 3(2006) of the RCTA and Resolution MEPC.163(56) of the IMO (1).
    2. If it endangers the safety of the vessel, the renewal of ballast water should not take place. In addition, these guidelines do not apply to the capture or release of ballast water and sediment to ensure the safety of the vessel in the event of an emergency or safeguard of human life at sea in the CAMLR Convention area.
    3. A ballast water management plan should be established for each vessel with ballast water tanks, which enters the Convention area, particularly in view of the problems posed by the renewal of ballast water in the cold environment and under antarctic conditions.
    4. Each vessel entering the Convention area should maintain a record of its ballast water operations.
    5. Ships are strongly encouraged not to reject ballast water in the Convention area.
    6. In the case of vessels to discharge ballast water in the area of the Convention, ballast water should first be renewed before the vessel arrives in the area of the Convention (preferably north of the Antarctic Polar Front Zone or 60° of South Latitude, both locations, the one that is the most north) and 200 nautical miles at least the nearest ground, by at least 200 nautical miles. (If, for operational reasons, this is not possible, this renewal must take place in waters at least 50 nautical miles from the nearest land by at least 200 metres in depth).
    7. Only tanks to be discharged in the Convention area should be subject to a renewal of ballast water following the procedure described in paragraph 6. The renewal of ballast water for all tanks is encouraged for all vessels that have the opportunity/ability to carry goods in the Convention area, as no one knows that trips to Antarctica are often subject to changes in itinerary and activities.
    8. If a vessel has taken ballast water in the Convention area and intends to discharge it in arctic, sub-arctic or sub-antarctic waters, it is recommended that ballast water be renewed north of the polar frontal zone and at least 200 nautical miles from the nearest land by at least 200 m of bottom. (If, for operational reasons, this is not possible, this renewal must take place in waters at least 50 nautical miles from the nearest land by at least 200 metres in depth).
    9. The discharge of sediment during the cleaning of ballast tanks should not take place in the Convention area.
    10. For vessels that have spent a lot of time in the Arctic, sediments of ballast water should preferably be rejected and tanks cleaned before such vessels enter the Convention area. If this cannot be done, sediment accumulation in ballast tanks must be monitored and sediment discharged in accordance with the vessel's ballast water management plan. If they are rejected at sea, sediments must then be in waters that are at least 200 nautical miles from the shore by at least 200 m of bottom.
    11. CCAMLR members are invited to share information on marine invasive species or anything that will change the perceived risk associated with ballast water.

    (1) IMO Resolution 3 (2006) and Resolution MEPC.163(56) establish identical practical guidelines for all vessels operating in the Antarctic Treaty Area (i.e., south of 60°S).

    RESOLUTION 32/XXIX
    Prevention, deterrence and elimination of INN fishing in the Convention area


    SpeciesAll
    AreasAll
    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    The Commission,
    Determined that illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (INN) weakens the objectives of the Convention,
    Concerned about the increasing number of vessels continuing to carry out fishing activities in an INN manner,
    Aware that many vessels registered with non-contracting Parties are engaged in activities that reduce the effectiveness of the conservation measures of CCAMLR,
    Noting that INN vessels fishing with a scoring net were observed in the Convention area,
    Deeply concerned at the serious adverse effects on the marine environment and on many species of living marine resources on the high seas net in the Convention area and on ghost fishing by lost or released seas,
    Acknowledging that the INN fishery causes often irreversible damage to fish stocks and other marine species and preventing the Commission from achieving its objective of the conservation of marine resources in the Convention area,
    Recalling that Contracting Parties should cooperate by taking relevant measures to deter any activity that would be incompatible with the objectives of the Convention,
    Recognizing also that some flag States do not fulfil their obligations with respect to jurisdiction and control under international law with respect to fishing vessels authorized to fly their flag, which carry out activities in the Convention area and that, as a result, such vessels may not be under the effective control of those flag States,
    Deeply dismayed by the fact that vessels engaged in activities in the Convention area without complying with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR may benefit from the support of persons subject to the jurisdiction of the Contracting Parties, including through the participation in the transfer, transport and trade of illegally exploited or engaged in the management of such vessels,
    Recognizing, moreover, that, without prejudice to the primary responsibility of the flag State, the taking of measures in accordance with applicable national legislation against any individual who participates in or supports INN fishing activities is one of the effective means of dealing with INN fishing,
    Noting, furthermore, that Contracting Parties are required to control all fishing vessels carrying Dissostichus spp. entering their ports, and in the event of evidence that the vessel conducted fishing activities in contravention of the conservation measures of the CCAMLR, not to authorize the disembarkation or transshipment of the capture,
    Concerned further that many of these vessels are flying the flag of non-contracting Parties that do not take into account the correspondence of the Commission and the diplomatic representations of some Members requesting them to cooperate with the Commission,
    Recognizing further that many non-contracting Parties whose vessels are engaged in INN fishing in the Convention area are Parties to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and other relevant international agreements,
    Recalling further that Resolution 25/XXV on combating INN fishing in the Convention area by flag vessels of non-contracting Parties refers to a series of measures by which Contracting Parties shall exercise their influence and seek the cooperation of non-contracting Parties,
    Recognizing further the importance of strengthening cooperation with non-contracting Parties to prevent, counter and eliminate INN fishing in the Convention area,
    Reaffirming its commitment to eliminate INN fishing in the Convention area,
    Requests all Contracting Parties, individually and collectively, and to the extent possible, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, to:


    1. Increase efforts to address the INN fishing problem in the Convention area through the application of all relevant conservation measures of the CCAMLR, in particular:
    - the conservation measure 10-03 relative to the port control of vessels carrying the legion
    - the 10-05 conservation measure relating to the Dissostichus spp capture documentation system.
    - conservation measure 10-06 on a system to promote compliance with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR by the ships of the Contracting Parties
    - conservation measure 10-07 on a system to promote compliance by vessels of non-contracting Parties with CCAMLR conservation measures
    - conservation measure 10-08 on a system to promote compliance with CCAMLR conservation measures by nationals of Contracting Parties
    - Conservation measure 10-09 on a trans-shipment notification system in the Convention area.
    2. To the extent possible, actively contribute to the CCAMLR control system in the Convention area.
    3. Initiate procedures, in accordance with international law, with non-contracting Parties as flag States, requesting, where appropriate, that they:
    i) recognize that the conservation measures of the CCAMLR are the standards necessary to achieve the objective of the conservation and rational use of the marine resources of Antarctica;
    (ii) investigate the activities of vessels flying their flag and fishing in the Convention area, in accordance with Article 94 of UNCLOS, and report on the findings of their investigations to the Commission;
    (iii) order their ships not to fish in the Convention area and take legal measures in accordance with their national legislation to vessels flying their flag that do not take such instructions into account;
    (iv) authorize designated CCAMLR controllers to board and inspect vessels flying their flag that are suspected or caught in flagrante delicto of INN fishing activities in the Convention area, in accordance with the CCAMLR control system and the procedures set out therein.
    4. Requires the cooperation of non-contracting Parties as port states where INN fishing vessels seek to use the ports of non-contracting Parties, urging them to take measures in accordance with conservation measure 10-07 and other similar control measures in ports, as provided for in conservation measure 10-03 with respect to Contracting Parties, as well as to submit to the secretariat of the CCAMLR reports of controls carried out in ports.
    5. Encourages the cooperation of non-contracting Parties to take other measures of the same type to enforce the CCAMLR system of documentation of Dissostichus spp. captures in their ports for the purpose of verifying the origin of Dissostichus spp. imported and/or re-exported from their territory and that it has been captured in a manner consistent with the conservation measures of the CCAMLR as provided by the-05


    RESOLUTION 33/XXX

    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    The Commission, recognizing the difficult and dangerous conditions in which high latitude fisheries operate in the Convention area, as well as the difficulties associated with search and rescue expeditions,
    Noting the duty to provide assistance and assistance as soon as possible to the rescue of persons in distress, as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the International Convention for the Protection of Human Life at Sea (SOLAS) and other international conventions,
    Noting that many Contracting Parties have ratified the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR 1979),
    Bearing in mind that designated maritime search and rescue zones (SAR) cover the area of the Convention, and that it is the responsibility of the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres (CCSM) for search and rescue, in accordance with the agreements established by each State with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), particularly in the Global SAR Plan.
    Urges CCAMLR members to transmit, or encourage fishing vessels (1) flying their flag to transmit, coordinates and other relevant information on fishing vessels flying their flag to the CCSM concerned, before vessels enter the Convention area.

    (1) For the purposes of this resolution, "fishing vessel" means any vessel, regardless of its size, used and equipped, or is intended to be used for fishing operations or fishing activities, including support vessels, plant vessels, trans-shipment vessels and vessels equipped to carry fish products, with the exception of container carriers. This definition excludes marine scientific research vessels from Members.


    RESOLUTION 34/XXXI
    Strengthening the safety of fishing vessels in the Convention area


    SpeciesAll

    SeasonsAll
    EquipmentAll
    The Commission,
    Concerned about the safeguarding of human life and the potential impact on the environment of a marine accident on a fishing vessel operating in the CAMLR Convention area,
    Recognizing the progress of the establishment by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of a mandatory code for vessels operating in polar waters,
    Recalling resolution 20/XXII on standards for strengthening the hull of vessels against ice in high-latitude fisheries and resolution 23/XXIII on the safety of fishing vessels in the area of the Convention,
    Noting the Cap 2012 agreement on the implementation of the provisions of the 1993 Torremolinos Protocol on the Torremolinos International Convention on the Safety of Fishing Vessels, 1977 ("Capecal Agreement"),
    encourages Members to:


    1. Continue to work, through their delegations to IMO, on the mandatory code for vessels operating in polar waters.
    2. Consider ratifying the Cape Town Agreement as soon as possible.
    3. Review and implement appropriate measures to strengthen the safety standards of fishing vessels to which they issue licences to operate in the Convention area.

    (vii) any problems requiring investigation by the flag State.


    SUPPLEMENT B
    CCAMLR PROGRAMME FOR STRENGTHENING COOPERATION


    Objectives
    The objective of the cooperation strengthening programme is to encourage and develop the capacity and desire of non-contracting Parties to cooperate with CCAMLR. Ultimately, it would be good for more countries to work with CCAMLR to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (INN fishing) at sea and in their ports.
    Cooperation between non-contracting Parties and CCAMLR could result in:


    - the exchange of information on INN fishing with CCAMLR;
    - participation in key CCAMLR initiatives, such as the Dissostichus spp. (SDC) capture documentation system through the application of conservation measures;
    - membership of the Convention and/or membership of the Commission, if any.


    Guiding principles
    The cooperation programme has the following attributes:


    - emphasis on technical cooperation;
    - flexibility to adapt cooperation to the needs of both the Commission and the receiving State, on a case-by-case basis;
    - a partnership model involving the CCAMLR secretariat, one or more experienced CCAMLR members as sponsors and the receiving State or States;
    - the reconciliation of the sponsors and receiving states according to the expertise, the relationships they have maintained in the past and their proximity;
    - the CCAMLR secretariat will be the central repository of information and training materials.


    Resource growth
    CCAMLR members and the secretariat may submit proposals to the Commission under the auspices of the SDC Fund. These proposals will be considered by the Commission at its annual meeting as part of the provisions set out in Annex B to the conservation measure 10-05. Contracting Parties are encouraged to contribute to the SDC Fund.
    Members of the CCAMLR will be able to produce their own training material at the appropriate time. For the sake of consistency and effective use of resources, they will share the training material, which will be facilitated by the secretariat that will maintain a central directory of relevant information and material on the CCAMLR site. The conservation measures of CCAMLR will remain at the basis of technical cooperation and training. The CCAMLR will fund the development of a set of training materials at the CDS that will be made available to all Members.
    Country selection for capacity-building
    The Commission will agree on a list of countries that could benefit as a priority from technical cooperation and will update it if necessary. This list will be based on information submitted by Members, such as reports on the activities and movements of INN fishing vessels and their interactions with non-contracting Parties.
    Listing countries will meet the following criteria:


    - The country is a flag State and/or a key port State for the Legion, and its cooperation would help the Commission to better combat INN fishing and fish trade captured in an INN manner and/or to fulfil the objective of the Convention.
    - The country is open to change and has a real political will to cooperate with CCAMLR and control INN fishing, but it has no means or expertise.
    - Training and technical assistance over time would strengthen the country's capacity to implement the relevant conservation measures.
    - The country has the necessary government structures to start the time and resources that will enable it to participate effectively in technical cooperation and is ready to engage in this cooperation (e.g., by appointing a competent authority for the implementation of the SDC).


    Records
    Members of CCAMLR are encouraged to report on the nature and results of technical cooperation. While remaining at the discretion of Members, such records may be in the form of a Commission Circular or a presentation at the Board Meeting.

    TEXT OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM SCIENTIFIC OSERVATION OF CCAMLR (1)


    A. Any member of the Commission may designate the observers referred to in Article XXIV of the Convention.
    (a) The Commission defines the activities of scientific observers on ships. These activities are described in Appendix I and are subject to any modifications suggested by the Scientific Committee. Member States designating and welcoming observers may agree on additional scientific activities to the extent that they are not inconsistent with those specified by the Commission and do not affect them.
    (b) The Member wishing to place scientific observers on board a ship of another Member shall be referred to as "the Designating Member" and the Member who accepts a scientific observer on board his ship shall be called "the Host Member". Scientific observers in this system are nationals of the designated Member. They adopt a conduct consistent with the customs and rules in force on the vessel on which they make their observations.
    (c) Members shall designate duly qualified scientific observers who are familiar with the fishing and scientific research activities to be observed, the provisions of the Convention and the measures adopted under the Convention, and have received adequate education and training to perform their functions as specified by the Commission in a competent manner.
    (d) Scientific observers are able to communicate in the language of the flag State the ships on which they operate.
    (e) Scientific observers bear a document identifying them as CCAMLR scientific observers. This document, issued by the Designating Member, is in a format consistent with the Commission's requirements.
    (f) Scientific observers present to the Commission, through the Designating Member, and no later than one month after the end of the observation campaign or the return of the observer to his country of origin, all the observation books and reports of each completed observation mission, using the observation forms approved by the Scientific Committee, as they appear in the Scientific Observer Manual. The secretariat shall send a copy of the report of the Scientific Observer to the Host Member within 14 days of receipt. The report of the Scientific Observer will be in one of the official languages of the Commission, as agreed in the bilateral agreement between the Designating Member and the Host Member.
    (g) The Member, in consultation with the scientific observer, will be responsible for clarifying the data collected, observations made and incidents that may have occurred during the placement period.
    (h) Once the report of the observer is reviewed, the Host Member shall notify the secretariat and the Member of possible discrepancies as soon as they are established. In the case of such notification, Designating and Host Members will do their utmost to resolve the problem. If they notify the secretariat that they are unable to do so, the secretariat will take note of the unexplained differences.
    B. In order to promote the objectives of the Convention, Members agree to embark, on their vessels conducting scientific research or the operation of living marine resources, designated scientific observers who will perform their functions in accordance with the bilateral agreements reached.
    B. This bilateral agreement is based on the following principles:
    (a) Scientific observers receive the status of an officer on board. The accommodation and meals of onboard observers correspond to this status.
    (b) Host Members ensure that their ship managers provide scientific observers with all the cooperation to carry out the tasks assigned to them by the Commission. Scientific observers will, among other things, have free access to the vessel's data, equipment and operations, which will enable them to perform their duties in the manner required by the Commission.
    (c) Host Members ensure that the ship's operator cooperates fully with scientific observers to enable observers to perform their functions related to the collection of data, as specified in the Scientific Observer Manual, without hindrance or influence. Arrangements are made to allow the scientific observer to send or receive messages by the vessel's communication equipment and with the assistance of the operator. All reasonable costs arising from these communications are, in principle, borne by the Designating Member. After notifying the master, the scientific observers will have all the necessary access to carry out their observation functions, including the vessel's navigation equipment and personnel to determine the vessel's position, course and speed.
    (d) Host Members maintain secure working conditions and take appropriate measures to ensure, in respect of their ships, the protection, security and well-being of scientific observers in the performance of their functions, and to provide them with medical care and to safeguard their freedom and dignity under all relevant international maritime legislation.
    (e) At sea transfers, Members: (i) ensure that their ships are transferring observers in a secure manner and, with the consent of observers, (ii) transfer in a manner that ensures maximum security for observers and staff during the proceedings, and (iii) provide experienced crew members to assist observers during any transfer.
    (f) Provisions concerning the transport and boarding of scientific observers are made to avoid interference with operations or research.
    (g) The scientific observers shall give the captains concerned who wish him a copy of their reports.
    (h) Designating Members shall ensure that their scientific observers have an assurance recognized by the Parties concerned.
    (i) The transportation of scientific observers to and from boarding points is the responsibility of the Designating Member.
    (j) Unless otherwise stated, the equipment, clothing, wages and compensation of the scientific observer shall normally be borne by the Designating Member, while the accommodation and meals on board shall be carried by the host Member ship.
    (k) The bilateral agreement will address other issues such as accountability and confidentiality issues that will be deemed relevant by the Designating Member and the Host Member.
    C. For each observer placed, the Designating Member shall provide the following information to the secretariat prior to the placement of the observer:
    (a) date of signature of the agreement;
    (b) name and flag of the vessel receiving the observer;
    (c) Member appointing the observer;
    (d) fishing sector (area, subzone, CCAMLR statistical division);
    (e) type of data collected by the observer and submitted to the secretariat (advice, target species, biological data, etc.);
    (f) planned dates of the start and end of the observation programme;
    g) expected date of return of the observer to his country of origin.
    D. In order to maintain objectivity and scientific integrity of data, Designating Members, Host Members, vessels on which scientific observers are placed and scientific observers will enforce and support the following:
    (a) A scientific observer designated under the International System of Scientific Observation shall not:
    (i) contravene the provisions set out in the legislation and regulations of the host Member or violate the general rules of conduct and security applicable to all vessel personnel, as these rules do not prevent the observer from fulfilling his or her mission under the said system, as stipulated in the bilateral agreement between the Designating Member and the Host Member;
    (ii) obstruct the proper operation and lawful fishing activities of the vessel;
    (iii) solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, tips, gifts, favours, loans or other monetary benefits of any person engaged in fishing or fish processing activities regulated by the CCAMLR, or whose interests could be significantly affected by the exercise or non-execution of the official functions of scientific observers, except accommodation, food or wages when provided by the vessel;
    (iv) have been found guilty of a serious offence within five years prior to its designation as an observer;
    (v) conduct unlawful actions or any other activity that may adversely affect its image as a professional researcher, other scientific observers, the integrity of data collection, or the CCAMLR as a whole;
    (vi) have financial interests in a ship or business that operates or processes products from a CCAMLR fisheries, or is related to such a ship or undertaking.
    (b) The owner, master, officer or crew of a ship on which a scientific observer is placed shall not:
    (i) offer to a scientific observer, directly or indirectly, tips, gifts, favours, loans or other monetary benefits, except accommodation, food or wages when provided by the ship;
    (ii) intimidate or hinder a scientific observer in the performance of his or her functions;
    (iii) enter into the sampling procedure used by a scientific observer or influence it;
    (iv) manipulate, destroy, or eliminate samples collected by a scientific observer, his equipment, records, photographic films, documents or effects without the explicit consent of the observer;
    (v) prevent an observer from collecting samples, making observations or performing in any way or another of his or her functions as an observer, or hindering, threatening or compel him or her to do so; or
    (vi) harass a scientific observer.
    (c) Investment limits. Designating Members shall, to the extent possible, endeavour to prevent a scientific observer designated under the International Scientific Observation System from making several consecutive trips to the same vessel.
    (d) Confidentiality. Designated Members require a scientific observer designated under the International Scientific Observation System:
    (i) does not disclose any evidence or verbal, written or other observations obtained on board a vessel, or any observations made at the processing plant, including information or data specific to the vessel, on the commercially sensitive fishery, processing or market, to anyone except the secretariat and as provided for in the bilateral agreement;
    ii) that it does not transfer data or records from the observer of a ship to another, unless an observer is unable to submit the data before being placed on another vessel, in which case it would take reasonable measures to protect the data and records of the observer.


    E. (a) When the Designating Member receives information on actions carried out by the Scientific Observer likely to be in violation of the provisions of this System, it shall promptly take the necessary measures, in accordance with its national legislation. The Designating Member shall notify the Host Member and the Commission of any relevant action taken.
