    Abstract

    This document examines the progress made to date in the establishment of a representative system of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the CCAMLR Convention Area, looking at the wider context and what still needs to be accomplished. ASOC suggests that although CCAMLR should consider different concerns, it should focus on its conservation mandate, and realise the objective of establishing a representative system of MPAs in the CAMLR Convention Area.
