    Abstract

    The Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area has existed for over six years (CM 91-05, 2016).
    However, the Research and Monitoring Plan remains to be adopted, and there needs to be
    more clarity on several aspects of the scientific rationale for this MPA. The Russian
    Federation offers comments on the draft RSr MPA Research and Monitoring Plan based on
    its position voiced at CCAMLR meetings.
