Proposals for Improved Management of CCAMLR’s Krill Fisheries: SISO Observers

We propose revising several conservation measures at CCAMLR-43 to improve monitoring of the krill stocks and the vessels participating in the krill fisheries. One of these proposals is to update Conservation Measure 51-06 (2019), General measure for scientific observation in fisheries for Euphausia superba, to require that at least one observer on every vessel is appointed under the Scheme of International Scientific Observation (SISO). This proposal includes elements from CCAMLR-42/33 Rev. 1 submitted to CCAMLR-42 by the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.
