Abstract
The ICG on sustainable finance met in 2024, convened by Argentina, to consider options for increased cost recovery for fisheries management and other administrative activities and to provide a proposal to CCAMLR-43. Eight different options were explored using different levels of relative contribution from: the equal share part of contributions; the fishery share part of contributions; and notification fees. The ICG could not agree on one single best option, and therefore forwards three for consideration of SCAF. Option 1, which is likely the closest to a compromise option, is presented as either a single year (2025) or 2-year (2025 - 2026) staged implementation. The paper includes details of the implications of each of these options.
